About Luis Milla
Luis Milla Aspas (born 12 March 1966) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, currently a manager. He represented three clubs – including Barcelona and Real Madrid – in a 16-year-professional career, where he won three La Liga titles (one with the former and two with the latter) and amassed totals of 298 matches and six goals. Milla later worked as a manager, being in charge of Spain's youth teams for several years. == Playing career == Milla was born in Teruel, Aragon. After finishing his development with Barcelona, he made his La Liga debut in 1984–85, scoring in his only appearance of the season against Real Zaragoza as Barça pitched in a team majorly composed of youth players due to a general professional's strike. Definitely promoted to the first team in 1988, Milla would be involved two years later in a sour contract renewal dispute with the board of directors and manager Johan Cruyff, which eventually finished with his free transfer to Real Madrid. He was seriously injured in his debut campaign, but bounced to back to be an important first-team element in the claiming of two leagues and one Copa del Rey, being fairly utilised even after the 1994 purchase of Fernando Redondo. Milla finished his career in June 2001 after four years at Valencia, with more than 400 official appearances as a professional. Over a three-month period beginning in late 1989, he earned himself three caps for the Spain national team, the first against Hungary in a 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier. == Coaching career == Milla was first involved in professional coaching in 2007–08, assisting former Barcelona and Madrid teammate Michael Laudrup at Getafe.
