Luis Miguel Ramis Monfort (born 25 July 1970) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender.
He amassed La Liga totals of 165 games and eight goals over the course of nine seasons, mainly in representation of Deportivo La Coruña (3 1/2 years), Real Madrid and Tenerife (two apiece).
Football career
Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Ramis started his career with hometown club Gimnàstic de Tarragona and, already in his 20s, joined Real Madrid's reserves. In the 1992–93 season he appeared in seven La Liga games with the main side, being definitely promoted for the following campaign.
In the 1994 Iberoamerican Cup, Ramis appeared in the second leg against Boca Juniors as a substitute, in a 1–2 loss in Buenos Aires (4–3 aggregate win). Shortly after that win he moved to CD Tenerife, involved in the deal for Fernando Redondo and, after two solid top-flight seasons, signed with fellow league outfit Sevilla FC, playing a career-best 39 matches albeit in a final relegation.
Ramis moved to firmly established Deportivo de La Coruña in 1997–98, initially acting as backup to Moroccan Noureddine Naybet. After a relatively good first year, his career was severely marred by a double ACL/fibula injury, from which he never fully recovered. In his last professional years after leaving Depor he appeared in only 45 contests combined, as all his clubs were relegated (Racing de Santander in the top division, first club Gimnàstic and Racing de Ferrol in the second[1]).
Ramis retired from the game in 2006, after three years in the fourth level. His first steps in coaching (as assistant first) were spent in Real Madrid's youth categories.
