Sendoa Agirre

In July 2019, Sendoa was named as Athletic Bilbao's first team match delegate, an administrative role which he had performed for the previous four seasons at Alavés; he replaced Andoni Imaz at Athletic.

On 28 August 2010, Sendoa appeared in the 2010–11 opener, a 0–1 home loss against Athletic Bilbao, thus becoming the oldest rookie in the history of the Spanish first division (aged 34 years, 8 months). On 7 May of the following year, he scored his first goal in the competition as Hércules fell 2–3 at home to Racing de Santander and were finally relegated; he added a brace in the following fixture, a 2–2 home draw against RCD Mallorca, which certified the team's fate. He finished his playing career with a two-year spell at Deportivo Alavés, helping the club to achieve promotion from the third tier in 2012–13.

Sendoa signed with second division side Hércules CF for the 2006–07 campaign, being an undisputed starter from early on and contributing with three goals in 39 games (almost 3,000 minutes) in his fourth year as the Valencians returned to La Liga after a 13-year absence.

After finishing his football formation at Basque giants Athletic Bilbao, Sendoa spent several years competing at amateur level in the region, on loan. He returned to the first team in 1998, but only appeared for them during pre-season games under Luis Fernández, going on to exclusively represent the reserves during two seasons.

Sendoa Agirre Basterretxea (born 31 December 1975 in Bilbao, Biscay), known simply as Sendoa, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
