Luis Diego López Breijo (born 22 August 1974) is an Uruguayan retired footballer who played as a defender. His career was intimately connected with Cagliari in Italy, for which he appeared in nearly 400 official games in 12 years. He later worked with the club as a manager, in several categories. López represented Uruguay in two Copa América tournaments. ==Club career== Born in Montevideo, López started playing professionally with local side Club Atlético River Plate. Two years later he signed with Racing de Santander in Spain, playing in 39 La Liga games in his debut season but receiving nine yellow cards and three red in the process; in Cantabria, he shared teams with compatriots Fernando Correa and José Zalazar. In 1998 López moved to Italy and joined Cagliari Calcio, freshly promoted to Serie A. During his first seven seasons with the Sardinian side, with the exception of his first year – only one match – he never appeared in less than 26 league contests and spent four years (2000–04) in the second division, also being eventually awarded team captaincy. On 14 April 2009, following a tunnel brawl with ACF Fiorentina's Felipe Melo in a 1–2 away loss, López received – as the Brazilian – a five-match ban. In July, one month shy of his 35th birthday, he signed a one-year contract with Cagliari. In the 2009–10 season the veteran appeared in 18 league games his team again managed to avoid relegation, after finishing in 16th position. On 9 September 2010, after not being called up to Cagliari's 2010–11 pre-season camp, López announced his retirement from professional football, having appeared in nearly 400 official games for his main club (12 professional seasons).〔(Lopez hangs up his boots ); Football Italia, 9 September 2010〕 In July 2012 López was named at the helm of the ''Primavera'' under-19 team of Cagliari and, on 2 October, was unveiled as new assistant coach for the main squad, after the Ivo Pulga-led club parted ways with Massimo Ficcadenti. López and Pulga swapped roles in July 2013 after the former was admitted to the yearly UEFA Pro Licence course, thus being allowed to serve as head coach in the Italian top flight. The former was sacked from his position on 6 April 2014 by owner Massimo Cellino, this being the 36th manager change he went through in 22 years of tenure. On 1 July 2014, López was appointed at Bologna F.C. 1909 in the Italian second tier. 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「Luis Diego López」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
