Pablo Villanueva Fernández (born 12 April 1976), known as Villa, is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a forward, currently assistant manager of Premier League club Aston Villa.
Playing career
Born in Alcorcón, Community of Madrid, Villa finished his development with Real Madrid, making his senior debut with the C team in the Segunda División B after being recruited to the academy by Vicente del Bosque.[1] Also during the 1996–97 campaign, he was promoted to the reserves who competed in the Segunda División, his first professional appearance occurring on 2 March 1997 in a 0–2 home loss against Las Palmas where he played the full 90 minutes.[2]
Villa spent the following five seasons in the second division, starting out with a loan at Racing Ferrol.[3] Subsequently, he represented Leganés and Córdoba, scoring a career-best eight goals (with the professionals) in 2004–05 for the latter side but being relegated.[4]
Villa retired in 2009 at the age of 33 after a spell with Guadalajara, due to knee problems.[4]
Coaching career
Villa started working as a manager at amateurs Trival Valderas, being in charge of its youth squads.[5] In June 2012, he was appointed manager of Córdoba B, replacing Rafael Berges who took the reins of the first team.[6] He finished the season in second place in the Tercera División, being ousted in the play-offs by Granada B who were eventually promoted.[7]
Villa was named coach of Córdoba on 27 June 2013, with the club still in the second tier.[8] He was relieved of his duties on 9 February of the following year, due to poor results.[9]
Starting in the summer of 2014, Villa worked with compatriot Unai Emery at several teams. His first one was Sevilla,[10][11] followed by Paris Saint-Germain,[12] Arsenal,[13] Villarreal[14] and Aston Villa.[15]
