Haritz Mújika López (born 13 November 1981) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a forward, currently a manager.

He played 53 Segunda División games and scored eight goals for Mirandés, but spent most of his career in the Segunda División B, featuring in 434 matches and scoring 76 times for eight clubs, mainly Real Unión and Mirandés.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Pasaia, Gipuzkoa, Mújika spent 11 of his first 12 seasons as a senior in the Segunda División B, starting at SD Beasain then representing Real Sociedad's B team – he also played with them in the Tercera División – Real Unión, Burgos CF,[2] UE Castelldefels, Zamora CF[3] and CD Mirandés.[4] With the latter club, he was an undisputed starter in his early years, scoring seven goals in 37 matches in 2011–12 to help gain promotion to Segunda División for the first time in history.[5]

Mújika made his debut in the competition at nearly 31 years of age, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against SD Huesca on 17 August 2012.[6] He scored his first goal as a professional on 13 January 2013, closing the 1–1 draw at Sporting de Gijón.[7]

Mújika left Mirandés in August 2014, and signed for Real Unión in the third division.[8] He moved to SD Amorebieta of the same league in 2017,[9] retiring two years later at the age of 37.[10]

Coaching career

[edit]

Immediately after retiring, Mújika joined Iñigo Vélez's technical staff at his last club Amorebieta, as an assistant manager.[11] On 8 March 2022, he was appointed at the helm of the team (newcomers to the second tier) after the latter's dismissal.[12] On his debut, five days later, he lost 1–0 at SD Eibar.[13]

Mújika ended his first season with relegation. His team bounced back immediately from Primera Federación, taking first place from CD Eldense on head-to-head.[14]

On 11 December 2023, Mújika was dismissed.[15]
