Fernando Ruiz Hierro (Spanish pronunciation:[feɾˈnandoˈʝero]; born 23 March 1968) is a Spanishfootball executive and former player who played as acentre-back,sweeper ordefensive midfielder.

He won fiveLa Liga and threeChampions League trophies withReal Madrid in 14 years after signing fromValladolid, during which he appeared in 601 official matches.[3] He also competed professionally in Qatar and England.

Hierro representedSpain on 89 occasions, appearing in fourWorld Cups and twoEuropean Championships. He started working as a manager in 2016 withOviedo, being appointed at the helm of the national team two years later.

Club career

[edit]

Early years and Real Madrid

[edit]

Hierro was born inVélez-Málaga,Province of Málaga. After beginning his football career at local clubVélez, he had a very brief youth spell with neighbouringCD Málaga, where he was told he was not good enough for the sport, which prompted a return home.[4] He eventually made hisLa Liga debut withReal Valladolid, being bought byReal Madrid in the summer of 1989 after two solid seasons; youth graduateJosé Luis Caminero moved in the opposite direction as part of the deal.[5]

At Real, Hierro scored seven goals in 37 games in hisfirst season, and eventually had his position on the field advanced by coachRadomir Antić, continuing his good performances with the addition of goals – he totalled an astonishing 44 league goals in three seasons, 21 alone in1991–92, a career-best.[6][7] For years, he often partneredManolo Sanchís in the centre of defence, being instrumental in the conquest of five leagues and threeUEFA Champions League trophies[8][9][10] and being namedcaptain after the latter's retirement.[11]

On 24 March 2002, Hierro scored ahat-trick in a 3–1 home win againstReal Zaragoza,[12] although theultimate champions would beValencia. He was released at the end of the2002–03 season alongside managerVicente del Bosque,[13] under rather unceremonious circumstances; having appeared in 497 top-division matches over the course of 16 seasons (105 goals), he then chose a lucrative move to the wealthy but developingMiddle East football industry, joiningQatar'sAl-Rayyan.[14]

Bolton Wanderers

[edit]

After just one year, Hierro returned to Europe to sign withPremier League sideBolton Wanderers[15] on the advice of his English teammate at Real MadridSteve McManaman, and teaming up with another former player of that club,Iván Campo. He scored once during his tenure, which came in a 3–2 loss atNorwich City in December 2004[16] and, even though hard-pressed by fans and managerSam Allardyce to stay for a further campaign,[17] he announced his retirement from professional football on 10 May 2005.[18]

International career

[edit]

Hierro wascapped 89 times forSpain and scored 29 goals, being only surpassed byRaúl (who also took over his captain armband in June 2002 when he retired),Álvaro Morata,David Silva,Fernando Torres andDavid Villa. He made his debut on 20 September 1989 – freshly signed by Madrid – in a 1–0friendly victory overPoland inA Coruña,[19] and appeared for the nation in the1990 (although only as a squad member),1994,1998 and2002FIFA World Cups, as well asUEFA Euro 1996 (where he missed a penalty as Spain crashed out to hostsEngland in ashootout) and2000.[20]

One of Hierro's most important goals came during the1994 World Cup qualification, as he headed the winner againstDenmark that allowed ten-men Spain to qualify for the final tournament in the United States.[21] In the finals, he scored after an individual effort againstSwitzerland in theround of 16,[22] before his team was eliminated byItaly in the quarter-finals following a 2–1 loss.[23]

Coaching and executive career

[edit]

Although he had already been in charge for a few weeks, Hierro was officially presented assporting director of theRoyal Spanish Football Federation in late September 2007.[24] He remained four years in the position.[25]

Hierro returned to his native region in July 2011, being appointedMálaga CF'sdirector of football.[26][27] On 28 May 2012, even though the clubfinished fourth andqualified for the Champions League for the first time ever, he left his position.[28]

Hierro at the2018 World Cup

On 10 July 2014, Hierro was named assistant coach of Real Madrid, replacingZinedine Zidane – who left to take the reins ofReal Madrid Castilla – inCarlo Ancelotti's staff.[29] He was given his first full managerial role two years later, being appointed atSegunda División sideReal Oviedo for theupcoming season with the option of a further year;[30] on 14 June 2017, after missing out on thepromotion playoffs on the final matchday, he left theEstadio Carlos Tartiere by mutual consent.[31]

Hierro returned to the Spanish Federation as sporting director on 27 November 2017.[32] He was appointed as the manager of Spain on 13 June 2018[33] after the sacking ofJulen Lopetegui two days before their first match at theWorld Cup, following the latter's decision to join Real Madrid after the tournament.[34] Two days later, he led the team to a 3–3group stage draw againstPortugal;[35] on 8 July, following a penalty shootout loss to hostsRussia in theround of 16, he stepped down from his post and also announced that he would not return to his role as sporting director.[36]

On 21 October 2022, Hierro was announced as sporting director ofGuadalajara in the MexicanLiga MX.[37] In June 2024, he joinedSaudi Pro League'sAl Nassr in the same capacity.[38]

Style of play

[edit]

Equally at ease as acentral defender,sweeper ordefensive midfielder, Hierro had the ability, at his peak, to combine solid defensive play with a near-unlimited passing range and surprising goalscoring talent,[39] which made him one of the world's most sought-after players.[4] A large, physically imposing and intimidating defensive presence, he was also known for his positional sense, strength in the air, tenacity and the ability to time his challenges well.[40][41]

Regarded as a highly competitive and hard-tackling defender,The Times placed Hierro at number 43 in their list of the 50 hardest footballers in history in 2007.[42]

Personal life

[edit]

Hierro's older brothers,Antonio andManuel, were also professional footballers and defenders. The latter paired up with Fernando at Valladolid, as the club finished eighth in1987–88.[43][44]

In 2021, Hierro began dating Croatian television journalistFani Stipković, having divorced his wife of 28 years Sonia Ruiz.[45] They married in September 2023 in Mexico[46] and, the following month, welcomed their first child, Nicolás Valentín.[47]
