Andoni Zubizarreta Urreta (, ; born 23 October 1961) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. The all-time most capped player for the Spanish national team for several years, he played with individual and team success for Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona (eight years with the latter, he would later work with the club in directorial capacities), appearing in more than 950 official professional matches during his club career. Zubizarreta represented Spain in seven major international tournaments, four World Cups and three European Championships, starting in six of those. ==Club career== Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, Zubizarreta spent his childhood in Aretxabaleta in Gipuzkoa, where he began his football trade. After a brief passage at another Basque club, Deportivo Alavés, he joined Athletic Bilbao, where he would spend the following six seasons. Zubizarreta's debut in La Liga occurred on 19 September 1981 as manager Javier Clemente handed him a start in a 0–2 away loss against Atlético Madrid, one month shy of his 20th birthday. He would be an undisputed starter for the remainder of his tenure, being an instrumental element in the club's conquests, most notably the back-to-back national championships. In 1986 Zubizarreta signed with FC Barcelona, for a record for a player in the position €1.7 million,〔(Andoni Zubizarreta Urreta ); UEFA.com, 10 July 2003〕 quickly removing established Urruti from the starting post and rarely missing a match onwards – for example, only four in the Catalan's four consecutive league wins combined. He added the club's first ever European Cup in 1992, a 1–0 win over U.C. Sampdoria. After the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League, where ''Barça'' lost 0–4 to A.C. Milan in the final, ''Zubi'' was deemed surplus to requirements and finished his career at Valencia CF, again at a high level. He retired after the 1997–98 campaign at nearly 37, having played in more than 950 official games (622 in the league alone – all-time best – conceding 626 goals). On 2 July 2010, Zubizarreta was named Barcelona's director of football by incumbent president Sandro Rosell, taking over from former club and national teammate Txiki Begiristain. In the previous decade he had served in the same capacity at Athletic Bilbao, also working as a radio and television commentator. On 5 January 2015, Zubizarreta was sacked as Barcelona director of football by club president Josep Maria Bartomeu. 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「Andoni Zubizarreta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
