Miguel Pardeza Pichardo (born 8 February 1965) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward.

He was part of Real Madrid's generation of footballers known as Quinta del Buitre, but spent the better part of his career at Real Zaragoza. After retiring as a player, he returned to his first club in directorial capacities.

Having appeared in 325 La Liga games over the course of 13 seasons (81 goals scored), Pardeza was part of the Spanish squad at the 1990 World Cup.

Club career

Born in La Palma del Condado, Province of Huelva, Pardeza was a youth system graduate at Real Madrid, making his first-team debuts during the 1983–84 season. After a loan at Real Zaragoza he returned, helping with 25 games and five goals to the side's 1987 national league conquest.

In the 1987–88 campaign Pardeza joined Zaragoza permanently, going on to become one of the Aragonese club's most prominent members as an offensive player with skills, vision and netting ability (he scored in double figures in four seasons). During 1994–95 he scored 11 La Liga goals, while also helping the club to that season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, against Arsenal.

After a quick spell with Mexico's Puebla FC, where he rejoined former Zaragoza teammate Francisco Higuera,[1] Pardeza retired in 1999 at age 34. In June 2002 he became technical director of former side Real Zaragoza[2] and, seven years later, he rejoined first team Real Madrid in the same capacity, following Florentino Pérez's return as president.[3]

International career

After playing at youth and Olympic level, Pardeza earned five caps for the Spanish full side. He made his debut on 11 October 1989 in a 2–2 draw against Hungary in Budapest for the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and his last appearance came in the finals in Italy on 21 June 1990, as he appeared two minutes in the 2–1 success over Belgium.[4]

Outside football

After four years of law studies and Hispanic philology at the University of Zaragoza (1994–99), Pardeza prepared a thesis on César González Ruano, a Spanish journalist/writer.[5] He also collaborated with newspapers and radios, an was a speaker for the Association of Spanish Footballers (AFE) from 1990, acting as its Secretary-General since 1996.
