Javier Clemente Lázaro (Spanish pronunciation:[xaˈβjeɾkleˈmenteˈlaθaɾo]; born 12 March 1950) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a midfielder.[2]
Forced to retire from playing in his early 20s through injury, he embarked on a coaching career with his first managerial appointment coming in 1975. Over the next four decades, he took charge of several club and national teams, including Athletic Bilbao which he also represented as a player, as well as Espanyol and Spain. He won the La Liga championship in 1983 and 1984 with the former.
Nicknamed El rubio de Barakaldo (The blond from Barakaldo) per his hair colour and town of origin,[3] Clemente coached the Spain national team in two World Cups and Euro 1996.
