Javier Calleja Revilla (born 12 May 1978) is a Spanish football coach and a former player who played mainly as a left midfielder. He currently manages Villarreal CF (youth). He amassed La Liga totals of 192 games and nine goals over the course of one full decade, mainly with Villarreal (six seasons) and Osasuna (three). He also represented Málaga in the competition, in a professional career which lasted 16 years. ==Club career== After growing unsuccessfully through the ranks of Real Madrid and making his professional debuts with lowly UD Almería, Madrid-born Calleja was bought by Villarreal CF, but spent some months with its feeder club CD Onda. He made his first-team debuts in the second division, playing nine games in the 1999–2000 campaign as the side returned to La Liga and contributing with one goal, in the 1–3 away loss against CA Osasuna. In his first three seasons in the category Calleja was a very important member for the ''Yellow Submarine'', scoring four goals in 35 matches in 2001–02. On 5 April 2003 he netted a penalty kick as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win over FC Barcelona, dedicating the goal to his mother who had died hours before;〔(El Villarreal impone la pena máxima al Barcelona (Villarreal imposes maximum penalty on Barcelona) ); Terra, 5 April 2003 〕 however, the emergence of Santi Cazorla and two consecutive serious knee injuries limited him to just 25 appearances the following three campaigns combined.〔(Javier Calleja: "Ahora estoy seguro de que he hecho lo correcto al quedarme" (Javier Calleja: "Now i'm sure i did the right thing by staying") ); El Periódico Mediterráneo, 20 January 2006 〕 In 2006–07, Calleja left Villarreal joining Málaga CF. In Andalusia he was an instant first-choice, appearing in 38 contests in his second season as the club returned to the top flight after a two-year hiatus. After a serious injury to teammate Adriano Rossato, Calleja spent much of the following campaign playing as left back. On 12 June 2009, after his link with Málaga expired, he moved to Osasuna in a 2+1 years deal.〔(Calleja refuerza la banda izquierda de Osasuna (Calleja strengthens Osasuna's left flank) ); Marca, 12 June 2009 〕 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「Javier Calleja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
