About Sebastián Viera
Mario Sebastián Viera Galaín (born 7 March 1983) is a Uruguayan former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, currently a manager. During his 20-year senior career, he represented mainly Colombian club Atlético Junior. He also played, other than in his own country, in Spain and Greece. Viera was part of the Uruguay squad at the 2004 Copa América. == Club career == Born in Florida, Florida Department, Viera started his professional career with Club Nacional de Football, notably winning the 2005 Uruguayan Primera División without losing a single match. After three seasons, he was expected to move to Premier League club Arsenal in August 2005, but its manager Arsène Wenger withdrew from the deal when the player did not pass his medical. Eventually, Viera signed with Villarreal CF in Spain, moving alongside Mariano Barbosa (also a goalkeeper) on a four-year contract. He would be an undisputed starter the following two seasons, although he missed both legs of the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Arsenal. Viera eventually lost his job midway through the 2007–08 campaign to newly signed Diego López, and never regained it again – no La Liga games in 2008–09 – being released in July 2009. On 7 December he signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Greek side Athlitiki Enosi Larissa FC, being made eligible to play however only in January 2010; his contract was terminated in December.
