In a 16-year professional career, spent mainly with Sevilla, he appeared in 359 matches across the two major divisions of Spanish football, scoring 69 goals. In La Liga, he totalled 141 games and 17 goals over seven seasons.
As a manager, Tevenet worked mainly in the lower leagues, with brief Segunda División spells at Huesca, Sevilla B and Valladolid.
