Nicolás Teodoro Cabañeras y Sanjurjo, 1st Duke of Cabañeras-Sanjurjo RMS (Creeperian: Նիծոլըս Տեոդորո Ծաբաթերաս յ Սանջփրջո, 1° Դփքփե դե Ծաբաթերաս-Սանջփրջո; born 12 December 1985) is a Creeperian football manager who currently serves as the manager for CF San Salvador. He is a son of José Cabañeras Gutiérrez and a nephew of Augusto Cabañeras Gutiérrez, the minister of defense of Creeperopolis. At the age of 38, he is the current youngest manager in the Liga Imperial.

Early life

Nicolás Teodoro Cabañeras y Sanjurjo was born on 12 December 1985 in Citalá, San Romero, Creeperopolis. His father is José Cabañeras Gutiérrez, then a military officer in the Creeperian Army, and his mother is Anastasia Sanjurjo Molina, then an employee for the ministry of law enforcement of Citalá. Upon his birth, he was bestowed the title of Marquess of Cabañeras-Gutiérrez by Emperor Adolfo V, as his father was the Duke of Cabañeras-Gutiérrez.

He attended the Emperor Romero I School for Boys from 1990 to 1998, and then the Don Padre José Delgado León School from 1999 to 2002. In 2003, he was enrolled in the San Salvador Imperial Military Academy, as his father wanted him to continue the family tradition of serving as a military officer in the Creeperian Army. His grandfather was the late Emmanuel Cabañeras Videla, who served as the minister of defense of Creeperopolis from 1976 until his death in 2002. He was succeeded by his son–Cabañeras Sanjurjo's uncle–Augusto Cabañeras Gutiérrez, who was in office at the time Cabañeras Sanjurjo enrolled in the military academy. There, he went on military observations to fronts of the Mara War (2004), Castillianan Insurgency (2005), and the San Carlos Islands Crisis (2006).

While at the military academy, Cabañeras Sanjurjo joined the Soldados Militares, the military academy's football program which is affiliated with the Creeperian National College Football Association (AFNCC). He played for the program as a center back throughout his time enrolled. He played in 33 matches and scored 2 goals. In his fourth year, Cabañeras Sanjurjo decided to forego becoming a military officer, and instead decided to dedicate his career to playing professional football in the Liga Imperial, the country's top football league. Despite resistance from his father and uncle, who himself wished the play professional football rather than become a military officer, he was eventually allowed to pursue his a professional football career. Upon his graduation on 15 September 2006 from the military academy, he was honorarily promoted to the rank of Major and awarded the grand collar of the Imperial Order of Romerism by Emperor Alexander II.

Professional football career

2006–07

After graduating, CF Tuxtla Martínez was the first club to offer Cabañeras Sanjurjo a contract to play for their club. On 22 September 2006, he signed a 4-year ₡640 million colón, contract. He played his first match for the club on 8 October 2006 against CF San Pedro. In his first match, Cabañeras Sanjurjo successfully prevented a goal from being scored by San Pedro forward Julio Marés Dávalos, however, Tuxtla Martínez eventually lost the match by a score of 1–2. For the remainder of the 2006–07 season, Cabañeras Sanjurjo played in 15 more matches.

The club failed to qualify for the 2007 Copa Creeperiano, as it finished in 9th place, one spot below the qualification threshold. The club automatically qualified for the 2007 Copa del Emperador, and Cabañeras Sanjurjo played in both matches the club played: the 3–0 victory over CF Guadalajara and the 1–3 loss to CF Puerto Atlántida.

2007–08

In the 2007–08 season, Cabañeras Sanjurjo recorded his first goal–a last minute equalizing header against CF Masario on 11 November 2007. He also recorded his only career own goal, scoring for CF Adolfosburg in a 0–4 loss on 20 January 2008. He played in 17 matches during the season. The club qualified for the 2008 Copa Creeperiano, and he played in all three group stage matches, however, each match ended in a loss: 0–2 to CF Chalatenango, 1–2 to CF Salvador, and 0–1 to CF Victoria. Like the previous year, he again played in two matches during the 2008 Copa del Emperador: a 5–0 victory against CF Bautista and a 2–4 loss on penalties after a 1–1 draw to Salvador.

2008–09

Cabañeras Sanjurjo was injured halfway through the 2008–09 season, tearing his knee ligaments during the 7 December 2008 match against CF La'Victoria. He did not return to play for the remainder of the season, having only played 7 matches and scoring 1 goal until his injury. He also did not play in the Copa Creeperiano or Copa del Emperador for that year. In a press conference in late-June 2009, he stated that he intended to continue playing for the club, stating that he believed he would be able to continue playing despite his injury that season.

2009–10

Cabañeras Sanjurjo suffered another injury in only the third round of the 2009–10 season, again tearing ligaments in his knee during the 14 September 2009 match against San Pedro. He did not play another match for the remainder of the Liga Imperial season, nor during the Copa Creeperiano. He did return to play one last match, Tuxtla Martínez's third match during the 2010 Copa del Emperador. Despite losing 1–2 against Chalatenango, Cabañeras Sanjurjo scored the club's lone goal. On 30 June 2010, the final day of the season and the last day of his 4-year contract, Cabañeras Sanjurjo announced his retirement from professional football citing his prior knee injuries. He did, however, state that he wished to return to coach for the club.

Personal life

Cabañeras Sanjurjo married Claudia Payés Rivera in July 2008. The couple has three children:

• María Doña de Paz Cabañeras y Payés (born 1 March 2010)
• Augusto Nicolás Cabañeras y Payés (born 15 August 2013)
• Melina Estefania Cabañeras y Payés (born 30 January 2015)

Cabañeras Sanjurjo is the eldest of four children, with his younger siblings being Luisa, Maximiliano, and Carmen. He has gained significant name recognition due to his relation to the minister of defense, Cabañeras Gutiérrez. His close association with his uncle has led to rumors and accusations of corruption and nepotism, where he has been alleged to have been granted favorable contracts and positions within the Liga Imperial.

His net worth is estimated to be around ₡960 million colóns, making him one of the wealthiest football managers in Creeperopolis.
