Club career
Born in Córdoba, Andalusia, Berges started playing for local side Córdoba CF, in the lower leagues. In the 1991–92 campaign he joined CD Tenerife, going on to spend two seasons in La Liga with the club.
Moving to Celta de Vigo in 1993, Berges went on to amass nearly 200 overall appearances and score seven league goals for the Galicians. He played in no games in his final two seasons, however, due to recurrent injuries.[1]
At the end of the 2001–02 campaign, aged 31, Berges retired with his first club Córdoba, now in the second division, but his second spell was cut short, again to recurrent physical problems. He took up coaching in 2005, starting with Córdoba CF B; amongst other lowly outfits, he would also manage UD Almería's B-team.[2]
On 14 June 2012 Berges was named Córdoba's main squad head coach, replacing Rayo Vallecano-bound Paco.[3] He was relieved of his duties on 7 April of the following year, with the club ranking in ranking in ninth position in the second level.
International career
For Spain Berges was the first-choice at the 1992 Summer Olympics, as the nation won the gold medal on home soil. He scored twice, including in the 2–0 semifinal win over Ghana.
