José María Bakero Escudero (born 11 February 1963) is a Spanish retired footballer and a current manager. Having played mainly for Real Sociedad and Barcelona, he began his career as a forward (not being a prolific goalscorer) but was converted into an attacking midfielder, who possessed passing and netting ability (with both his right foot and his head, the second despite his short stature) and great leadership skills. During a 17-year professional career Bakero amassed La Liga totals of 483 games and 139 goals, winning a total of 18 titles. In the 2000s, he embarked on a coaching career. A Spanish international during seven years, Bakero represented the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship. ==Club career== Born in Goizueta, Navarre, Bakero made his senior debut with Real Sociedad on 6 September 1980 when only 17, coming from the bench in a 2–3 loss at Valencia CF, and finished his debut season with 27 appearances but no goals. Appearing only in two games in 1981–82 he was however part of the Basque sides which won back-to-back La Liga titles, his teammates including Luis Arconada, Jesús María Zamora and Jesús María Satrústegui. In 1988 Bakero signed for FC Barcelona, where he was joined by several other Real and Basque players: Txiki Begiristain, Luis López Rekarte, with Julio Salinas coming from Atlético Madrid but having also played with Athletic Bilbao, as another Real player, Ion Andoni Goikoetxea, joined two years later – they would form the backbone of the legendary ''Dream Team''. Between 1988 and 1997 he (who scored 47 league goals in his first four years combined) played 329 matches overall for the Catalans, being instrumental in their league conquests from 1990 to 1994 and also appearing in the historic 1992 European Cup final. Having appeared scarcely during the 1996–97 campaign, his last game coming on 18 November 1996 in a 6–1 home thrashing of Real Valladolid in which he scored, Bakero retired later that season, after a small abroad stint with Mexico's CD Veracruz. He also had unsuccessful trials with Middlesbrough and Norwich City. After retiring in 1997 Bakero moved into coaching, first as an assistant, under both Llorenç Serra Ferrer and Louis van Gaal. He also worked as a sports adviser with the ''Generalitat de Catalunya'' and, in 2004–05, had his first head coaching experience, joining Málaga CF's B-side in January 2005 and helping it narrowly escape relegation from the second division. In August 2005 Bakero was appointed director of football at first team Real Sociedad, and would be promoted to coach towards the end of the 2005–06 season. Seven games into the following campaign, he was sacked. In October 2007 Bakero joined Ronald Koeman's (another Barcelona teammate) coaching staff at Valencia, being dismissed in April 2008. On 10 November 2009, more than a year after his last job, he signed with Polonia Warsaw, again as head coach. While the team was last in the league at that point, not only did he manage to prevent relegation, but also led the club to a win against city neighbours Legia Warsaw, the first in ten years; he was sacked on 13 September 2010, after suffering the first loss of the season. On 3 November 2010 Bakero signed with another team in the Polish top level, Lech Poznań. In his official debut he led the club to a 3–1 win against Manchester City, in the season's UEFA Europa League. On 25 February 2012, following a 0–3 away loss against Ruch Chorzów, Bakero was relieved of his duties. 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「José Mari Bakero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
