Manuel Sarabia

Sarabia retired aged 34 in 1991, after three seasons with modest CD Logroñés also in the top division, scoring more than 20 official goals during his stint. He took up coaching three years later, having very brief stints in the second level – the only season he started and finished, with Bilbao Athletic, ended in relegation.

Left-footed, Sarabia represented Spain at Euro 1984.

Sarabia played 15 times with Spain in a two-year span, scoring twice. His first goal was one of 12 in the nation's routing of Malta in a UEFA Euro 1984 qualifier, in Seville.

A full first-team member from 1978–79 onwards, having also served a loan with neighbours Barakaldo CF in the previous year, Sarabia went on to appear in 284 La Liga matches for the Basques (with 83 goals). He had a best output of 16 in the 1982–83 season when Athletic won the league title, renewing it the following campaign).

Born in Abanto y Ciérbana-Abanto Zierbena, Biscay, Sarabia came through the ranks of Lezama, Athletic Bilbao's prolific youth system, making his debut for the main squad on 19 September 1976 in a 1–1 home draw against CD Málaga. He was particularly determined to succeed at the club after his elder brother was rejected due to his birthplace in Torres, Jaén (despite spending most of his life in Biscay), as this did not fit the criteria for Athletic's signing policy at the time.

Manuel 'Manu' Sarabia López (born 9 January 1957) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.
