Julián Rubio Sánchez (born 28 January 1952) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current manager.
He appeared in 134 La Liga games over the course of six seasons (14 goals), mainly in representation of Sevilla. His professional career was closely associated to Albacete Balompié, with which he played and worked in several capacities.
Born in Montealegre del Castillo, Province of Albacete, Rubio started playing for local Albacete Balompié. He made his senior debuts with Ontinyent CF, spending two of his three seasons in the second division, then switched to Sevilla FC in the same category, promoting to La Liga in 1975.
Rubio made his top level debut on 6 September 1975, playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–0 home win against UD Las Palmas, and finished his first year with 26 games (all starts) and three goals as the Andalusians ranked in 11th position. After three more seasons, always as first-choice, he signed with FC Barcelona.
At the Camp Nou, having to compete with the likes of Juan Manuel Asensi and Jesús Landáburu – and later Bernd Schuster – Rubio was nothing but a fringe player over the course of two seasons, all of his league appearances coming in his debut campaign. He returned to Albacete in the summer of 1981, promoting to the third level in his first season, and retiring after three years at the age of 32.
