José Moratón Taeño (born 14 July 1979) is a Spanish former footballer who played usually as a central defender, and the current manager of CD Bezana.
In a 13-year professional career he played mainly for Racing de Santander, appearing in 156 La Liga matches over nine seasons for the club (three goals).
Club career[]
Racing[]
Moratón was born in Santander, Cantabria. Since first appearing as a professional for hometown's Racing de Santander on 13 December 1998, in a 0–0 La Liga home draw against CD Tenerife,[1] he would play 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[]
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]
