Salvador Ballesta Vialcho, aka Salva (born 22 May 1975), is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.

A goal-poacher noted for his flair and workrate, he played for seven different top division clubs, most notably Atlético Madrid, Valencia - with whom he won his sole team trophy - and Málaga.

Over the course of 11 La Liga seasons, Salva amassed totals of 235 games and 87 goals, adding 126/52 in Segunda División.

Salva was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. After making his professional debuts with Sevilla FC, he won the Pichichi Trophy in the 1999–2000 season, scoring 27 goals to lead La Liga's scoring charts for Racing de Santander. He then moved to Segunda División with Atlético de Madrid (freshly relegated) and proceeded to lead the side with 21 league goals, although the Colchoneros did not return to the top level.

In the 2001 summer, Salva joined Valencia CF, netting five goals to help the side become league champion after a 31-year drought. He was rarely used in the following season, and was subsequently briefly part of the Bolton Wanderers side which avoided Premier League relegation in 2003. He had another two loan stints from 2003–05, with Málaga CF (18 league goals) and Atlético Madrid, being subsequently released and signing with the former.

Fernando Vázquez Pena (born 24 October 1954 in Castrofeito, O Pino, Galicia) is a Spanish football manager.

Vázquez was an English teacher in the Galician town of Lalín. It was there where he began to get involved with the school's athletics, especially football. He began his professional coaching career with modest CD Lalín in 1986, but left there for higher-profile Racing de Ferrol in 1991.

Vázquez took over for many teams from 1994–2004, most of them in La Liga. With Celta de Vigo, he achieved promotion straight into the UEFA Cup (sixth place in 2005–06).

Vázquez was relieved of his duties as manager of Celta on 9 April 2007, on the eve of the Galician derby with Deportivo de La Coruña, and with his team embroiled deep in a relegation dogfight, eventually lost on the last matchday.

Aside from coaching, Vázquez also worked as a pundit for Canal+ in their UEFA Champions League coverage. While still at Celta, he took charge of the Galician regional football team, together with Arsenio Iglesias, longtime Depor manager.

Abel Resino Gómez (born 2 February 1960), sometimes just Abel, is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the current coach of Granada CF.

Nicknamed El Gato due to his reflexes, he played most of his professional career at Atlético Madrid; for roughly one year (early-late 2009), he also coached the club, helping it qualify once for the UEFA Champions League.

Born in Velada, Province of Toledo, Abel arrived at Club Atlético de Madrid in 1982 from lowly CD Ciempozuelos, after also having represented local CD Toledo, but would have to wait five years (four of those spent with the reserve side, only managing to be first-choice in his third season) to become a starter. He went on to amass over 300 overall appearances for the club, helping to back-to-back Spanish Cups.

Abel held the record for the longest clean sheet in La Liga at 1,275 minutes, finally being beaten by Luis Enrique of Sporting de Gijón on 19 March 1991. This record was also the European record in a single season until 2009, when Dutch Edwin van Der Sar from Premier League side Manchester United broke it, against Fulham.

Víctor Valdés i Arribas (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈbiktoɾ balˈdes i aˈribas]; born 14 January 1982) is a Spanish football goalkeeper who currently plays for FC Barcelona in La Liga.

He is regarded to be one of Barcelona's better goalkeepers in franchise history, having won a total of 19 titles including five La Liga titles, three Champions League titles, and two Copa del Rey titles. He also has won the Zamora Trophy a record five times. He currently holds the club records as goalkeeper with most appearances in the league and in official competition, breaking Andoni Zubizarreta's records during the 2011–12 season. Before joining the full team in 2002–03 season, Valdés played for the youth teams and FC Barcelona B. Currently, he has a contract with Barcelona until 2014.

Born in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, to José Manuel Valdés and Agueda Arribas and has two brothers, elder Ricardo and younger Álvaro, Valdés started his career with FC Barcelona's youth team when he joined from Peña Cinco Copas on 1 July 1992. But in September, he moved with his family to Tenerife and had to leave the club, rejoining only three years later. After returning, he made quick progress through the youth teams.
