Óscar Téllez Gómez (born 2 April 1975) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
[5] Subsequently, Téllez returned to Alavés whom had in turn retained top-flight status, contributing 33 appearances in 1999–2000 to help the Basques overachieve for a final sixth place.
[7] The following season, Téllez was instrumental in both the domestic and European fronts, forming a solid defensive partnership with Antonio Karmona[8] as Alavés reached the 2001 UEFA Cup final, lost to Liverpool in extra time.
[9] He continued to feature prominently for the side the next four years, returning to the top tier at the end of 2004–05 and totalling 53 yellow cards and seven red during this timeframe.
[10][11][12] In early 2006, having quarrelled with the board of directors (amongst accusations he was grossly overweight, a condition which had bothered him on previous occasions),[13] which featured the eccentric Dmitry Piterman, Téllez was fired, retiring from professional football shortly after.
