Alberto Saavedra Muñoz (born 29 October 1981 in Oviedo, Asturias) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Marino de Luanco in the Spanish third division, as a central defender.

Football career

Saavedra's career began when he signed a professional contract with local Real Oviedo, making his first first-team appearance in 2002. He never appeared in any La Liga matches with the side, and moved to CD Numancia in 2003–04. The Soria outfit promoted from the second division, but he did not appear one single minute during the (half)campaign.

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

Personal

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.
