He appeared in 297La Liga matches over 11 seasons (eight goals scored), withAlbacete andAtlético Madrid. Hewon the 1996 league championship with the latter club.

Club career

[edit]

Born inAlbacete,Castilla–La Mancha, Santi began playing professionally with his hometown sideAlbacete Balompié. He made hisLa Liga debut at age 18, and immediately became an undisputed starter as they constantly managed to retain their top-flight status.[2][3]

Santi signed forAtlético Madrid in the summer of 1995, being crowned league andCopa del Rey champion in hisfirst season as part of a defensive line which also included youth graduatesJuan Manuel López andRoberto Solozábal. He appeared in 37 league matches during the campaign.[4][5]

Following Atlético's2000 relegation (he collected a career-worst 17yellow cards),[6] Santi gradually lost his importance in the team's plans. In2004–05, after the signing ofPablo Ibáñez – who also came from Albacete – he featured in no games at all in the first half of the season, and was subsequently allowed to leave on loan in January 2005 to his first club.[7] The move was made permanent in June and he retired after two more years, with Albacete now in theSegunda División.[8]

Santi eventually returned to Atlético Madrid in early February 2009, as assistant to newly-appointedAbel Resino who had replacedJavier Aguirre.[9][10] He was acaretaker manager for the fixture againstRCD Mallorca on 24 October, before the appointment ofQuique Sánchez Flores.[11]

International career

[edit]

Santi wascapped twice forSpain, his debut coming on 11 October 1997 in a1998 FIFA World Cupqualifier againstFaroe Islands (3–1 inGijón, playing the entire match).[12] He still featured in afriendly win overSweden in March 1998,[13] but did not make the cut for the finals in France.

Previously, Santi appeared forthe nation at the1996 Summer Olympics.[14][15]

Coaching career

[edit]

After retiring, Denia acted as head coach toSpain under-17s[16][17] andunder-19s.[18] He led the second age group to theUEFA European Championship in2019.[19]

In December 2022, afterLuis de la Fuente was promoted to the full side followingLuis Enrique's resignation, Denia was named the former's replacement at the helm of theunder-21s.[20] He won thegold medal at the2024 Summer Olympics in France, thanks to aSergio Camello late goal inextra time to beatthe hosts.[21]

Denia returned to club duties in summer 2025, being appointed atQatar Stars League'sAl Shahaniya SC.[22]
