Club career

Mainly a backup throughout his entire professional career, Madrid-born Diego played mainly for Atlético Madrid. During his late years, he managed to maintain an interesting battle for first-choice with veteran Abel Resino but never really broke into the first team, with his main club or any other.[1]

In January 1991, Diego served a six-month loan at Sporting de Gijón as replacement for Juan Carlos Ablanedo, severely injured. Over the course of seven seasons, he appeared in a total of 61 La Liga games.
