Iñaki Muñoz

Iñaki Muñoz Oroz (born 2 July 1978) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.
He amassed La Liga totals of 150 games and 11 goals over the course of nine seasons, representing in the competition Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao.

Muñoz was born in Pamplona, Navarre. Except for a season-long loan to CD Toledo in the third division he played ten senior seasons with hometown's CA Osasuna, the first and the second sides combined. He made his La Liga debut with the former on 23 December 2001, in a 0–1 home loss against Athletic Bilbao.

Muñoz went on to become an important first-team member, appearing in 30 games during the 2005–06 campaign as the club finished fourth in the league and qualified to the UEFA Champions League while scoring five goals in as many wins, notably the winners at Deportivo de La Coruña and Atlético Madrid. In the previous season's Copa del Rey, he netted five times in eight matches to help Osasuna reach the final of the competition, notably once in a 3–1 quarterfinal home win against Sevilla FC (4–3 on aggregate).

Muñoz switched west for 2007–08, moving to Basque neighbours Athletic Bilbao. He appeared sparingly during his first season, and even less in the second and third – his 2009–10 output consisted of 30 minutes against Deportivo, in the last matchday.

In the 2010 summer, aged 32, free agent Muñoz signed with FC Cartagena in the second level.

Muñoz represented both the Basque and Navarrese autonomous teams, gaining six caps in total.
