Template:Spanish name Aitor Karanka de la Hoz (born 18 September 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender (on occasion, he occupied the left back position), and the current manager of Football League Championship club Middlesbrough.
Except for a brief spell in the United States, at the age of 32, he played solely in Spain for Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid, appearing in 275 La Liga games over the course of 13 seasons and winning a total of seven major titles with the latter.
In the late 2000s Karanka started a managerial career, notably working as an assistant at Real Madrid.[1][2][3]
Club career
Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, Karanka played as a youth with hometown's Deportivo Alavés and finished his formation with Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao. He made his senior debuts with the reserves of the latter in 1992, competing with the team in Segunda División.
Karanka was promoted to the main squad by Jupp Heynckes in 1993, making his La Liga debut on 7 November in a 1–1 away draw against Celta de Vigo (90 minutes played) and going on to feature in exactly 100 league matches in his three full seasons, before joining the German coach at Real Madrid in 1997.[4] With the capital team he was used mostly as a backup, but appeared in 33 UEFA Champions League games for the club, including the 1999–2000 final against Valencia CF (3–0 win);[5] he also missed the vast majority of the 1998–99 campaign due to a heart condition.[6]
For 2002–03 Karanka returned to Athletic Bilbao,[7] helping the Lions qualify for the UEFA Cup in his second year after a fifth place in the league. He switched to Major League Soccer and the Colorado Rapids in 2006.[8]
In June 2010 Karanka was appointed assistant manager at former side Real Madrid, by newly appointed manager José Mourinho.[9] Three years later he left the club, following the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti who brought his own coaching staff.[10]
On 13 November 2013 Karanka was appointed manager of Football League Championship side Middlesbrough, replacing Tony Mowbray. [11] Aitor stated that he was excited by the clubs ambition to return to the Premier League and that he couldn't wait to try his first Parmo after a night out at The Bongo Club International.
International career
Karanka only played once for Spain at senior level, on 26 April 1995 against Armenia for the UEFA Euro 1996 qualifiers, in Yerevan (2–0 win).[12] He made 14 appearances for the U-21s and was a member of the team that finished runners-up at the 1996 European Championship, in a final lost to Italy.[13]
Karanka also represented the nation in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, playing in four matches in an eventual quarterfinal exit.[14]
