Alberto Saavedra Muñoz (born 29 October 1981) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Caudal Deportivo as a central defender.

Football career

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Saavedra's career began when he signed a professional contract with local Real Oviedo, making his first appearance with the first team in 2002. He never appeared in any La Liga games with the side, and moved to CD Numancia in the 2003–04 season; the Sorians promoted from the second division, but he did not appear one single minute during the (half)campaign, being sparingly used with the reserves.

In January 2004 Saavedra moved to the Netherlands, signing a deal with Eredivisie participants ADO Den Haag and quickly becoming a first-team regular. In 2007 he returned to his country, first with UD Vecindario then Ontinyent CF (both in the third level).

Personal life

Saavedra's older brother, José Jorge, also a stopper, also played briefly for Oviedo's first team, appearing in one top flight match in 1998–99. His career, however, was spent largely in the lower leagues.[1]
