}} Abelardo Fernández Antuña ((:aβeˈlarðo ferˈnandeθ anˈtuɲa); born 19 April 1970), known simply as Abelardo, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Sporting de Gijón. A player with good heading and marking ability, he was also known for a distinctive bald head, a style which he adopted from a relatively young age. During his career he was almost exclusively associated with Sporting de Gijón and FC Barcelona, having amassed La Liga totals of 385 games and 24 goals over the course of 14 seasons. Having won nearly 60 caps for Spain in one full decade, Abelardo represented the nation in two World Cups and as many European Championships. ==Club career== Born in Gijón, Asturias, Abelardo started his professional career with local Sporting de Gijón, with which he made his La Liga debuts. Signing with FC Barcelona for the 1994–95 season in a 275 million ''pesetas'' deal, he was always an important first team element, helping the Catalans to two leagues, cups and supercups, adding another two European trophies. However, he was greatly hampered by injuries in his final years at the Camp Nou.〔(Injury woe for Abelardo ); UEFA.com, 9 January 2002〕 Aged 32, Abelardo joined Deportivo Alavés, initially signing a two-year deal〔(Alavés take on Abelardo ); UEFA.com, 4 June 2002〕 but retiring after just one season〔(Abelardo ready to say ''adiós'' ); UEFA.com, 4 June 2003〕 due to a recurrent knee injury, which had already bothered him at Barcelona.〔(Abelardo on the mend ); UEFA.com, 22 January 2002〕 Subsequently he took up coaching, starting with his first team's B-side in 2008. Midway through his second year he was fired, with the club managing to retain its third division status nonetheless. In the 2010 summer he moved to another club in the region, amateurs Candás CF. Fernández signed for CD Tuilla for the 2011–12 season – also in Asturias and the fourth level – winning the Copa Federación de España (Asturias tournament). On 10 February 2012, former team Sporting Gijón hired him as an assistant coach after Iñaki Tejada was appointed following the departure of Manolo Preciado. Abelardo returned to head coach duties and Sporting B for the 2012–13 campaign.〔(Vega-Arango anuncia que se bajará el precio de los abonos (Vega-Arango announces season tickets will be cheaper) ); Sporting's official website, 22 May 2012 〕 Late into the following season he led the team to a 4–1 away win over neighbouring Real Oviedo and, one week later, replaced the sacked José Ramón Sandoval at the helm of the main squad.〔(Abelardo Fernández sustituye a Sandoval como entrenador del Sporting (Abelardo Fernández replaces Sandoval as Sporting coach) ); Sporting's official website, 4 May 2014 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abelardo Fernández」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
