Born in Folgoso do Courel, Lugo, Galicia, González moved to Barcelona at the age of three, and began his career with Colegio Dalvi at the age of eight. In the following year, he moved to FC Martinenc, and spent a year with CE Sant Gabriel before making his senior debut with the former.
González subsequently played for UDA Gramenet B, FC Santboià and CF Montañesa, suffering a serious knee injury with the latter. He subsequently signed for UE Poble Sec, but had to retire.
González started his managerial career at the age of 16, being in charge of the Infantil B squad of Martinenc. He subsequently managed San Gabriel in several different categories, also working as an urban bus driver.
In 2005, González joined CF Badalona as a manager of the Juvenil squad, and was in charge of the side for seven years before departing in May 2012. On 25 May of that year, he was appointed manager of the first team of Montañesa, in Tercera División.
On 20 June 2014, after missing out promotion in the play-offs, González returned to Badalona, now as manager of the main squad in Segunda División B; he was presented by the club on 3 July. On 7 May 2015, after leading the club to a fifth place finish, he renewed his contract until 2018.
On 31 May 2018, González left Badalona to take over fellow third division side CD Ebro. Despite leading the club to the round of 32 in the season's Copa del Rey and a 9th place in the league, he left on a mutual agreement on 23 May 2019.
On 7 October 2019, González returned to the Escapulats, replacing sacked Juanma Pons. He renewed his link with the club for a further year the following 20 May, but left on 26 May 2021, after refusing a new deal.
