Template:Spanish name 2 Wilfredo "Willy" Daniel Caballero Lazcano (born 28 September 1981) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Malaga in Spain, as a goalkeeper.
He spent most of his career in Spain, representing Elche and Málaga and competing in La Liga with the latter club. In summer of 2014, he joined Manchester City.
Club career
Born in Santa Elena, Entre Ríos, Caballero started his playing career with Boca Juniors in 2001, where he won three major titles in 2003. On 14 December of that year he witnessed – from the bench – his team beat A.C. Milan 3–1 on penalties, in the 2003 Intercontinental Cup.
Caballero joined Elche CF of Spain in 2004, and had a brief loan spell back in his country with Arsenal de Sarandí in 2006. With the former, after a rough first season, he went on to become the undisputed starter, appearing in nearly 200 Segunda División games.
On 10 February 2011 Caballero was transferred to Málaga CF in La Liga for €900,000 and two 1/2 years, as an emergency transfer – after the 31 January transfer deadline – due to a serious knee injury to Sergio Asenjo (the club's previous starter, Rubén, was also unavailable due to physical problems);[1] he made his league debut on the 20th, starting in a 1–1 draw at Villarreal CF,[2] and played all the matches until the end of the campaign, with the Andalusians finally escaping relegation.
On 1 October 2011, Caballero entered Málaga's history books as he kept his goal clean for 480 minutes, beating the club's previous record of 429 held by Pedro Contreras since the 2001–02 season. On 16 October he was sent off midway through the first half of an away fixture against Levante UD, after touching the ball with his hands just outside the box – the hosts eventually won it 3–0.[3]
On 18 January 2012 Caballero signed a contract extension, keeping him with Málaga until 2016.[4] On 25 March, playing against RCD Espanyol, he fractured his left hand early into the game, being sidelined for the rest of the season.[5]
Caballero returned to full fitness for 2012–13, featuring in all but two games and helping the Boquerones to the sixth position. Goal.com named him as the best player in his position for the campaign.[6]
In the summer of 2014, he joined then premier league champions Manchester City, reuniting with the manager Manuel Pellegrini with whom he previously worked at Málaga CF for a fee of about €8 million.
International career
Caballero played for Argentina at under-20 level, helping the nation win the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship by playing in the competition's last two games.[7]
In 2004 he was picked for the gold medal triumph at the 2004 Summer Olympics, as backup to Germán Lux (also first-choice in the previous tournament).
