José Ramiro Funes Mori (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse raˈmiɾo ˈfunez ˈmoɾi];[a] born 5 March 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defender for La Liga club Villarreal and the Argentina national team. He plays primarily as a centre back but can also operate as a left back.

Early life

Funes Mori was born in Mendoza, Argentina. He emigrated with his family from Argentina to the United States in 2001.[4] His father, Miguel, played professional football in Argentina with clubs such as Independiente Rivadavia and Club Atlético Argentino in the 1980s.[5] In 2008, Funes Mori joined the FC Dallas youth team after his brother won the Sueño MLS talent competition, but spent less than a year playing for the side before moving back to Argentina.[6]

Club career

River Plate

Funes Mori joined River Plate as a youth player, progressing to the senior team in 2011.[7] He is considered a legend of the club because he won 6 professional titles (four of them international) including the 2015 Copa Libertadores. He made his debut for the Argentina national team whilst playing for River Plate.[2] Funes Mori is remembered not only for his performances and titles, but also for scoring very important goals such as the third goal in the Copa Libertadores final and an iconic goal against Boca Juniors.[7][8] He made a total of 108 appearances for River Plate across five seasons, scoring ten goals.[9]

Everton

On 1 September 2015, Funes Mori joined Premier League club Everton for a fee of £9.5 million.[10] He made his debut 11 days later, coming on as a substitute, in a 3–1 home win against Chelsea.[11] He scored his first goal for Everton in a 3–3 draw with Bournemouth in November 2015. In his first season with the club, he received significant playing time at centre back due to injuries and lack of form for the expected starting pair of Phil Jagielka and John Stones. In April 2016, Funes Mori was sent off for stamping on the ankle of Divock Origi, in a 4–0 loss to Liverpool.[12] As a result, he was suspended for three games.[13] He scored five goals across all competitions in his first season with the club.

Funes Mori was out for the remainder of the 2016–17 season after suffering a torn meniscus while on international duty with Argentina in March 2017.[14] In the summer of 2017, Funes Mori had undergone a second operation on his knee injury in Barcelona and was looking at between six and nine months on the sidelines.[15]

Villarreal

On 21 June 2018, Funes Mori joined La Liga club Villarreal for an undisclosed fee.[16]

International career

Funes Mori made his international debut for Argentina in an international friendly against El Salvador in March 2015.[17]

He was selected for his national squad at the Copa América Centenario and was part of the Argentine side that reached the final. The defender played in the final where Chile won 4–2 on penalties after the match finished in a goalless draw. He was not selected as one of the first four penalty takers. Funes Mori scored his first international goal on 6 October 2016 in a 2–2 draw against Peru in a match which he also conceded a late penalty.[18]

In May 2018, he was named in Argentina’s preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but did not make the final 23.[19]

Personal life

Funes Mori is married to the sister of FC Dallas midfielder Mauro Díaz.[20] His twin brother, Rogelio, is also a footballer and plays for Liga MX club Monterrey as a striker.[2]
