Ignacio 'Iñaki' Eraña Cassi (born 3 June 1965) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current coach.
Club career
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Eraña started his professional career with local Sporting de Gijón, making his debut on 3 October 1984 and scoring the fourth goal in a 6–1 win against Club Siero for the Copa del Rey.[1] He signed his first professional contract in 1986, but was loaned to Segunda División club Recreativo de Huelva in January of the following year.
Eraña subsequently returned to Sporting, playing three consecutive seasons in La Liga before being loaned to Real Murcia in the second level.[2] He made his debut in the former competition on 1 November 1987, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Valencia CF.
From 1992 until his retirement, at the age of 34, Eraña represented CD Logroñés, SD Compostela, CF Extremadura and CD Numancia, with six of the campaigns being spent in the top flight. He also achieved promotion from the second level with the third and fourth sides.[3]
After retiring, Eraña worked with Sporting Gijón in directorial capacities, leaving his post in 2015.[4] In October of that year he started his coaching career by being appointed at local amateurs UC Ceares,[5] leaving the club at the end of the season.
Personal life
Eraña's father, Juan (born 1938), was also a footballer. He too represented Sporting.
