[edit] Playing career
During his playing days, Muñiz played for hometown club Sporting de Gijón (making his first team debuts in 1991-92), Rayo Vallecano (scoring four goals in 40 matches during 1998-99, which granted the Madrid side promotion via playoffs, even though they finished fifth) and CD Numancia, retiring after 2001-02.
[edit] Coaching career
Moving to management in early 2006 with lowly UD Marbella, Muñiz also coached Málaga CF for two seasons, achieving a runner-up place in 2007-08, promoting the Andalusia outfit to the top level after a two-year hiatus.
In July 2008, he switched to fellow league team Racing de Santander. At the season's end, however, he was released from contract,[1]and promptly returned to Málaga,[2]replacing Antonio Tapia, who took over relegated neighbours Real Betis.
