José Antonio 'Toni' Grande Cereijo (born 17 September 1947) is a Spanish retired football central midfielder and manager.
Playing career
Born in Valencia, Grande graduated from Real Madrid's academy, going on to appear in 121 competitive games with the first team, winning two La Liga championships and one Copa del Rey trophy.[1] He made his league debut on 19 January 1969 in a 2–2 away draw against Córdoba CF (90 minutes played),[2] but only totalled 14 appearances over his first two seasons; he did manage to score four times in the European Cup during his spell,[3] including twice in the 1969–70 edition in victories over Olympiakos Nicosia (8–0 away, 6–1 at home).[4][5]
Grande also represented Rayo Vallecano, Racing de Santander, Granada CF and Palencia CF, the first and the last being the only clubs with which he did not play in the top division, where he amassed totals of 176 matches and 31 goals. He retired from professional football at the age of 31.[1]
Internationally, Grande competed for Spain at the 1968 Summer Olympics as a member of Rayo.[6]
Coaching career
Grande returned to Real Madrid in 1979, managing several youth teams as well as Real Madrid Castilla and Real Madrid C. In the late 90s/early 2000s he worked as first-team assistant under several coaches, mainly Vicente del Bosque, then left the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium briefly and returned again, being part of Fabio Capello's coaching staff as the side won the 2007 national championship.[7][1]
In 2004, Grande re-joined del Bosque during his brief adventure in Turkey with Beşiktaş JK.[8] The pair reunited again four years later, in the same capacity, at the Spain national team.[9][10][11][12][13]
On 2 November 2017, Grande was named assistant coach of South Korea under Shin Tae-Yong for their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign.[14]
