Álvaro Adrián Núñez Moreira (born 11 May 1973) is a Uruguayan retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He also has a Spanish passport, having spent over a decade playing in the country mainly with Numancia (eight years, 83 La Liga games).
An undisputed starter in his first two seasons (both in La Liga, playing a combined 72 games) he started struggling for a starting XI berth onwards, and was majorly a backup in the rest of his Soria career, which was almost entirely spent in the second division.
[1][2] After nine matches in 2007–08, as Numancia returned to the top flight after three years, Núñez left the club but stayed in the country, joining lowly CD Guadalajara.
Núñez won one cap for Uruguay, and was a backup at the 1999 Copa América.
