Template:Spanish name 2 José María Bakero Escudero (born 11 February 1963) is a Spanish retired footballer, and a current manager. Having played mainly for Real Sociedad and Barcelona,[1] he began his career as a forward (not being a prolific goalscorer) but was converted into an attacking midfielder, who possessed passing and netting ability (with both his right foot and his head, the second despite his short stature) and great leadership skills.
During a 17-year professional career, Bakero amassed La Liga totals of 483 games and 139 goals, winning a total of 18 titles. In the 2000s, he embarked on a coaching career. A Spanish international during seven years, he represented the nation in two World Cups and one European Championship; in 1999 he began working as a manager, mainly in Poland.
Club career
Born in Goizueta, Navarre, Bakero made his senior debut with Real Sociedad on 6 September 1980 when only 17, coming from the bench in a 2–3 loss at Valencia CF, and finished his debut season with 27 appearances but no goals. Appearing only in two games in 1981–82, he was however part of the Basque sides which won back-to-back La Liga titles, his teammates including Luis Arconada, Jesús María Satrústegui and Jesús María Zamora.
In 1988, Bakero signed for FC Barcelona, where he was joined by several other Real and Basque players: Txiki Begiristain, Luis López Rekarte, with Julio Salinas coming from Atlético Madrid but having also played with Athletic Bilbao, as another Real player, Ion Andoni Goikoetxea, joined two years later – they would form the backbone of the legendary Dream Team. Between 1988 and 1997 he (who scored 47 league goals in his first four years combined) played 329 matches overall for the Catalans, being instrumental in their league conquests from 1990 to 1994 and also appearing in the historic 1992 European Cup Final; in the latter tournament, as his team was trailing 0–2 at 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the second round after a 3–1 home win, his 90th-minute header secured qualification.[2]
Having appeared scarcely during 1996–97, his last game coming on 18 November 1996 in a 6–1 home thrashing of Real Valladolid in which he scored,[3][4] Bakero retired later that campaign after a small abroad stint with Mexico's Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz; he also had unsuccessful trials with Middlesbrough and Norwich City.
Bakero moved into coaching after retiring in 1997, first as an assistant under both Lorenzo Serra Ferrer and Louis van Gaal. He also worked as a sports adviser with the Generalitat de Catalunya and, in 2004–05, had his first head coaching experience, joining Málaga CF's B-side in January 2005 and helping them narrowly escape relegation from the second division.
In August 2005, Bakero was appointed director of football at Real Sociedad, and would be promoted to coach towards the end of 2005–06. Seven games into the following season, he was sacked.[5]
In October 2007, Bakero joined Ronald Koeman's (another Barcelona teammate) coaching staff at Valencia, being dismissed in April 2008. On 10 November 2009, more than a year after his last job, he signed with Polonia Warsaw, again as head coach.[6] While the team was last in the league at that point, not only did he manage to prevent relegation but also led them to a win against city neighbours Legia Warsaw, the first in ten years;[7][8] he was sacked on 13 September 2010, after suffering the first loss of the campaign.[9]
On 3 November 2010, Bakero signed with another club in the Ekstraklasa, Lech Poznań.[10] In his official debut he led the side to a 3–1 win against Manchester City, in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.[11]
On 25 February 2012, following a 0–3 away loss against Ruch Chorzów, Bakero was relieved of his duties. In 2013 he moved to South America to coach Juan Aurich from Peru, being fired in September of that year due to poor results.[12]
In 2015, Venezuelan club Deportivo La Guaira hired Bakero as interim technical director, to help the new coaching staff by running training sessions.[13]
International career
Bakero earned 30 caps for Spain, netting on seven occasions. His debut came on 14 October 1987 during an UEFA Euro 1988 qualifier against Austria: he replaced future Barça teammate Francisco Carrasco in a 2–0 home win.[14]
Bakero would subsequently represent the nation at Euro 1988, as well as in two FIFA World Cup editions, 1990 and 1994.

Personal life
Bakero was the third of eleven children. His brothers Santiago and Jon were also footballers, and both forwards: the former played five seasons in the first division, with Hércules CF and Real Sociedad (where he coincided with José Mari from 1986 to 1989), while the latter did not appear in higher than the second level (where he played mostly for FC Barcelona B).[15][16] After he joined Polonia as a coach he was accompanied, at his request, by Jon as an assistant.
Bakero's sister, Itziar, was also a footballer, who played at international level.[17]
