Club career

[edit]

Born inOchagavía – Otsagabia,Navarre,de Andrés joinedAthletic Bilbao's youth system,Lezama,in 1975, after reported interest from bothReal MadridandFC Barcelona.TheBasquespaid his previous club 400.000pesetas,having to spend an additional 5 million if the player made his debut with the first team.

De Andrés returned to hisalma materafter two years withthe reservesin the lower leagues and one season on loan toCD Castellónin theSegunda División,with the 21-year-old being awarded a chance in the main squad byHelmut Senekowitsch,formerly in charge of theAustria national side.[1]He made hisLa Ligadebut on 9 September 1979, in a 2–1 away defeat againstUD Salamanca.[2]

Early into the1980–81 campaign,theAustrianmanager was fired after a 7–1 loss at Real Madrid, but de Andrés kept his place in the starting XI.[3]He would eventually start in every league match he appeared for Athletic, although he rarely played in his preferred position,sweeper,being mostly deployed as adefensive midfielder;underJavier Clemente,he contributed 55 games and four goals as the team won back-to-back domestic leagues.[4][1]

On 9 February 1983, as Bilbaowent on to winthe first of its two leagues, de Andrés, who possessed a powerful shot with both legs, scored twice from long range in a 5–2 home win overRCD Españolduring a heavy snowfall at theSan Mamés Stadium.[5]The following year, he started in theCopa del Reyfinal as his team completedthe doubleafter the 1–0 win against Barcelona inMadrid,but was also one of six players suspended – the punishment was later lifted – after the battleground that followed the final whistle, the others beingPaco Clos,Diego Maradona,Migueli,Andoni GoikoetxeaandManuel Sarabia.[6][7]

1986–87,in which legendary playerJosé Ángel Iribarreplaced Clemente as head coach, was disastrous for de Andrés: he suffered an injury againstSporting de Gijónin the first matchday, going on to experience several relapses,[8]and was suspended by the club after refusing to appear in a cup match againstCD Logroñés;[9]reappearing against Real Madrid in the 31st round, as Bilbao struggled to avoid falling into the relegation group (the competition was, for the first and only time, divided into three groups after the regular season), hiskneewas shattered after opponentRicardo Gallegofell on it, and he never appeared for theLionsagain.[10]

Howard Kendallwas appointed Athletic Bilbao's manager in 1987, but de Andrés retired from football after one year in the sidelines aged 31, with 267 official appearances for Athletic (12 goals). Subsequently, he worked for them as ascout.[11]

De Andrés representedSpainat the1980 Summer OlympicsinMoscow,playing all the matches and minutes in an eventualgroup-stage exit(three draws). ManagerJosé Santamaríaused him in the defensive sector alongsideAgustín GajateofReal Sociedad.[12][13]

Even though he made the list of 40 for the1982 FIFA World Cupon home soil, with Santamaría again as coach, de Andrés did not make the final cut. AfterMiguel Muñozwas appointed and SpainqualifiedforUEFA Euro 1984,he made his full debut on 18 January 1984 in a 0–1friendlyloss withHungaryinCádiz;[14]three months later, he appeared ten minutes in the match withDenmark(2–1 inValencia),[15]but was overlooked for the final squad which eventually finished second in France.
