Esteban Vigo

He played the vast majority of his professional career with Málaga and Barcelona, amassing La Liga totals of 240 games and 24 goals over 13 seasons.

He subsequently attracted attention from country giants FC Barcelona who signed him in December 1976 for 25 million pesetas,[2][3] and he proceeded to be regularly used over one decade although never an undisputed starter (a maximum of 23 matches in 1980–81).

[7] Taking up coaching afterwards, Vigo began in his native Andalusia with UD Almería,[8][9] and continued to work mainly in the region,[10][11] also having an abroad spell in Romania.

[12][13] In 2009 he led Xerez CD to their first top-tier promotion[14] but, in July 2009, switched to another side in Segunda División, moving to Hércules CF[15] and achieving the same as runner-up, with the Alicante club returning to the top flight after 13 years.

[16] Vigo was sacked by Hércules on 21 March 2011, following a 0–4 home loss against CA Osasuna; it was the team's fourth consecutive defeat of the season, winning just one point out of 15 possible.
