Martín Mauricio Astudillo (born 11 October 1977) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and a current manager.
He played during one full decade in Spain with Alavés, appearing in 149 games in La Liga and 162 in Segunda División.
Football career
Born in Mendoza, Astudillo started his career in the Argentine second level, with Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba of Mendoza Province. In 1997 he was signed by Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy of the Primera División, and two years later moved to Deportivo Alavés in Spain.
An instant first-choice, Astudillo scored four league goals in his first season, and was instrumental in the Basque side's runner-up run in the UEFA Cup the next year.[1] In the following campaign he only missed one match and netted on five occasions, helping his team finish seventh in La Liga.
Astudillo remained loyal to Alavés throughout the vast majority of his Spanish stint, playing in divisions one and two as they were twice relegated from the former (in 2003–04, he collected a season-worst 19 yellow cards). However, in January 2008, he rejoined the top flight, signing on loan with CA Osasuna who had lost another central midfielder, Javad Nekounam, severely injured in preseason.[2]
During the season, Astudillo was instrumental in helping the Navarrese barely escape relegation as he scored the game's only goal at RCD Espanyol on 13 April 2008.[3] In August 2009, after Alavés suffered relegation to the third tier, he bought out the remainder of his contract and returned to his country after ten years, joining Rosario Central;[4] he appeared in a best ever 346 official matches for his main club.
