Ayoze Díaz
Ayoze Díaz Díaz, known simply as Ayoze, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back, and the current assistant manager of UD Granadilla Tenerife Sur.Club career
Born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Canary Islands, and brought through the ranks of local CD Tenerife, Ayoze made his debut with the first team in 1999–2000. In the summer of 2003, after just one full season in the second division, he joined La Liga club Racing de Santander, where he was relatively used as a defender or midfielder in his first three years.
During the 2007–08 campaign, as the Cantabria side achieved a first-ever qualification to the UEFA Cup, Ayoze became first-choice, relegating historical and veteran Luis Fernández to the bench.
In July 2008, Ayoze signed a three-year contract with RCD Mallorca, replacing Sevilla FC-bound Fernando Navarro. During his first year he started as backup to another newly signed, Enrique Corrales, but finished in the starting XI.
In the 2009–10 season, as Mallorca finished in fifth position and qualified for the Europa League, Ayoze completely won the battle for first-choice status over Corrales, appearing in 33 matches.
