Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, Olmo played for lower league teams always in his native region, most notably representing Terrassa FC and CF Gavà. He retired in 1998, aged 32, playing for UE Poble Sec.

Manager career

Olmo began his managerial career at lowly CD Can Perallada and subsequently managed neighbours CD Montcada [1] and UE Vilassar de Mar, before moving to Segunda División B's UE Figueres in the 2005 summer. [2] He helped the Unió to narrowly avoid relegation, finishing 14th.

On 4 June 2009, after a stint at UE Castelldefels, [3] Olmo replaced Javi Salamero at the helm of Girona FC. [4] He remained in charge for the last three matches of the campaign, helping the Albirrojos retain their Segunda División status.

On 25 September 2009 Olmo was appointed Terrassa FC's manager, replacing fired José Luis García. [5] However, he finished the season as dead last, being relegated to Tercera División. He remained on the bench in the following years, leaving the club in May 2012.

On 5 July 2013, Olmo was named Salamero's assistant at CE Sabadell FC. [6] On 28 November, after Salamero's dismissal, Olmo was appointed caretaker manager. [7]

After taking the Arlequinats out of the relegation places, Olmo renewed his deal with the club on 8 May 2014. [8] He was dismissed on 23 November. [9]

On 24 July 2015 Olmo was appointed manager of Bahrain's Manama Club. [10] He was relieved from his duties on 29 October. [11]

Olmo's sons, Carlos and Dani, also became footballers.
