José Moratón Taeño (born 14 July 1979) is a Spanish former footballer who played usually as a central defender, and the current academy manager of Racing de Santander.

Club career

[edit]

Racing

[edit]

Moratón was born in Santander, Cantabria. Since first appearing as a professional for his hometown's Racing de Santander on 13 December 1998, in a 0–0 La Liga home draw against CD Tenerife,[1] he has played for the club the vast majority of his career. During 2001–02's second division, at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero, he scored a decisive goal against Atlético Madrid as Racing returned to the top flight after just one year out.[2]

Already established as one of the team's captains,[3] Moratón suffered a severe injury which made him miss most of 2006–07.[4] He played 18 games the following season, as the side achieved a first-ever qualification to the UEFA Europa League.[5]

In the following two top level campaigns, Moratón was used exclusively as a backup, but still contributed with 23 matches combined as Racing managed to retain their league status. He also helped them to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, notably netting in a 3–2 win at AD Alcorcón (which had previously ousted Real Madrid), also the final aggregate score[6]– precisely in the last-four stage, he scored in his own net against Atlético Madrid, in an insufficient 3–2 home victory and 3–6 overall loss.[7] In June 2010 he was released by the club, ending a relationship which spanned nearly two decades.[8]

Salamanca

[edit]

Moratón played in 2010–11 with UD Salamanca in the second tier, starting in all the matches he appeared in and scoring a career-best five goals.[9][10][11][12] In early June 2011, however, following his team's relegation, the 32-year-old chose to retire from professional football.[13]

Coaching career

[edit]

After returning, Moratón took charge of Racing Santander's U-19 squad.[14] After the 2011-12 season, he then worked a few years at the Federación Cántabra de Fútbol as a coach.

In June 2016, Moratón was appointed manager of Racing B, signing .[15] In July 2017, he extended his deal for one further year.[16] In 2018-19 and 2019-20, he then managed CD Bezana, before signing for UM Escobedo on 23 May 2020.[17] He decided to resign on 27 May 2021.[18]

On 24 May 2022, he was appointed assistant manager of CD Laredo.[19]
