Julen Lopetegui Argote (born 28 August 1966) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the current manager of FC Porto. He played 149 games in La Liga during 11 seasons, appearing in the competition for Real Madrid, Logroñés, Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano. He added 168 matches in Segunda División, with three clubs, and represented Spain at the 1994 World Cup. Lopetegui started working as a manager in 2003, and went to spend several years in charge of Spain's youth teams. He led the under-19 and under-21 sides to European titles. ==Playing career== Born in Asteasu, Gipuzkoa, Lopetegui started his professional career at local Real Sociedad, where he was barred by legendary Luis Arconada, deciding to accept the offer from Real Madrid which immediately incorporated the 19-year-old to its B-team. After one loan to UD Las Palmas Lopetegui returned, but could never dislodge another veteran, Francisco Buyo, only managing one La Liga appearance during two seasons, a 3–3 away draw against Atlético Madrid as Real was already crowned league champions. He subsequently signed with CD Logroñés, being instrumental as the modest Riojan club consistently managed to retain its top flight status. Lopetegui's stellar performances at Logroñés earned him his sole cap with Spain, coming on as a substitute for Andoni Zubizarreta for the final 30 minutes of a 0–2 friendly loss with Croatia in Valencia, on 23 March 1994. He was subsequently picked for the squad at that year's FIFA World Cup. As Zubizarreta left for Valencia CF, Lopetegui was signed by the Catalans, battling – and losing – for first-choice status with longtime understudy Carles Busquets. After ''Barça'' bought F.C. Porto's Vítor Baía he was further demoted to third-string, and returned to Madrid with Rayo Vallecano, being a starter in two of his five seasons (although he still managed 36 league appearances from 1999 to 2002, with Rayo always in the top division, as he retired subsequently). 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「Julen Lopetegui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
