Born in Madrid, Mateos finished his graduation at local and national powerhouse Real Madrid.

Mateos left the Merengues in the 1961 summer, with official totals of 93 matches and 50 goals.[2] He subsequently represented, in his country, Sevilla FC, Recreativo de Huelva, Real Betis (two spells with both clubs) and Gimnástica de Torrelavega, suffering a serious injury whilst at the service of the first from which he never fully recovered; until his retirement at the age of 37, he also played for the Cleveland Stokers in the North American Soccer League[3] and East London Celtic in South Africa.
Subsequently, Mateos worked as a manager for roughly twenty years. His biggest achievement at the professional level consisted of leading Cádiz CF to its first-ever promotion to the top flight in 1977, being sacked early into the following campaign as the Andalusians were eventually relegated back.[4]
