Josu Uribe

Jesús Uribesalgo Gutiérrez (born 25 May 1969), commonly known as Josu Uribe, is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of CD Mensajero.

Club career

Born in Gijón, Asturias, Uribe began coaching at the age of 21, managing youth sides at local Sporting de Gijón. Subsequently he coached in amateur senior football, his first achievement being leading Ribadesella CF to the third division in the 2001–02 season, a first-ever for the club.

As a result Uribe moved straight into the second level, with UD Las Palmas. In the 2003–04 campaign he was in charge of Getafe CF as it reached La Liga for the first time in the club's history, finishing in second position behind champions Levante UD and only losing six games in 42.

From 2004 to 2009 Uribe continued working in division two, with Elche CF, Hércules CF,Deportivo Alavés and SD Eibar,being relegated with the latter after 15 games in charge. He spent 2009–10 with Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, in the third division.

In 2011 Uribe had a fleeting spell in Greek football, leaving Panserraikos F.C. after a few months due to the team's economic problems. In January 2012 he was appointed at Girona FC after the sacking of Raül Agné, with the Catalans ranking in 21st position (ouf of 22 teams) but eventually avoiding second tier relegation.

Uribe

The Merindad de Uribe or Uribealdea is a historical subdivision of Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. Today, the "Uribe" is usually defined by subdivisions caused by the urban development of the Greater Bilbao conurbation. These are:

Additionally, Barakaldo is now considered to be part of Left Bank and a few rural municipalities of the southernmost tip of historical Uribe are grouped with other areas in Arratia-Nerbioi.

Uribe is also a Basque surname. Etymologically it seems to read under the city/town but its meaning is not clear. Álvaro Uribe, the former president of Colombia, bears this surname, and Mexican Manuel Uribe has for some time been the heaviest man on earth. In Latin America, there are other branches of the family in Ecuador and Mexico.

Rivalry

The Ceuta-Melilla derby was between Melilla and AD Ceuta, who were dissolved in 2012. The two clubs travelled to face each other via the Spanish mainland to avoid entering Morocco.

Melilla

Melilla (/mɛˈliːjə/ meh-LEE-yə; Spanish: [meˈliʎa], locally: [meˈliʝa]; Berber: Mřič; Arabic: مليلية‎‎, Maliliyyah) is a Spanish autonomous city located on the north coast of Africa, sharing a border with Morocco with an area of 12.3 square kilometres (4.7 sq mi). Melilla, along with Ceuta, is one of two permanently inhabited Spanish cities in mainland Africa. It was part of Málaga province until 14 March 1995 when the city's Statute of Autonomy was passed.

Melilla, like Ceuta, was a free port before Spain joined the European Union. As of 2011, it had a population of 78,476 made up of ethnic Spaniards, ethnic Riffian Berbers, and a small number of Sephardic Jews. Both Spanish and Riffian-Berber are the two most widely spoken languages, with Spanish as the only official language.

Melilla is officially claimed by Morocco, which considers it "occupied territory".

From 1940 the club met varying success, spending most of its time in the second and third divisions of Spanish football. In 1944 it changed its home kit to green and white stripes, from the previous one of all white, and, the following year, Córdoba moved from Estadio America to Estadio del Arcángel; in the 1953–54 season the team found itself in the third level alongside CD San Álvaro de Córdoba and, at the end of the campaign, the clubs merged.
