My Take
Sergio García de la Fuente always struck me as a quintessential product of La Masia. Born in Barcelona in 1983, he came up through the Barcelona academy before making his real mark at Zaragoza and especially Espanyol, where he wore the captain's armband. A forward who could drift out to the right wing, he had the kind of versatility coaches love. What I find fitting is that he has stayed in the game after retiring, now managing the Damm under-19 side. To me that move into youth coaching feels like a natural full circle for someone shaped by an academy system himself.
Overview
Sergio García de la Fuente (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈseɾxjo ɣaɾˈθi.a]; born 9 June 1983) is a Spanish former professional footballer. Mainly a forward, he could also appear as a winger, preferably on the right. He is the current manager of Damm under-19 team. After starting out at Barcelona, he went on to represent mainly Zaragoza and Espanyol, serving as captain of the latter.
