Playing career

edit

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Ania was a youth product of his hometown club Real Oviedo. After starting out as a senior with the reserves, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 11 June 1995, coming on as a late substitute for scorer Oli in a 1–0 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[3][2]

Ania scored his first professional goal on 8 November 1995, equalising an eventual 4–1 home victory over CA Osasuna in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[4] He was definitely promoted to the main squad ahead of the 1997–98 season,[2] previously netting for the first time in league on 12 May 1996 in the 4–0 away defeat of Deportivo de La Coruña.[5]

Ania scored a career-best five goals in the 2000–01 campaign, but Oviedo were relegated as third-bottom.[2] On 17 September 2001, he signed a four-year contract with CD Tenerife in the top division, for a fee of 400 million pesetas.[6] He suffered another relegation in his first year,[2] and spent the first half of 2003–04 unemployed before joining Rayo Vallecano on loan.[7]

On 30 June 2005, following a one-year spell at fellow second-division Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Ania moved to Cádiz CF in a return to the top flight,[8] but featured rarely as they went down.[2] He joined Lorca Deportiva CF in summer 2006, also dropping down a level while only making five starts in the second tier.[9]

In October 2008, after more than a year without a club, Ania signed for Tercera División side CD Covadonga.[10] He returned to Oviedo on 28 June 2009, with the club now in the Segunda División B,[11] and retired in 2010 aged 32.[9]

Ania won the 1995 UEFA European Under-18 Championship with Spain, being an unused squad member.[12] He was also selected for the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, making four appearances in Malaysia for the quarter-finalists.[13]

Coaching career

edit

After retiring, Ania played in the Liga de Fútbol Indoor with Oviedo before being appointed manager of Covadonga on 8 December 2011.[14] He left on 21 June 2013,[15] and returned to the former on 18 November at the helm of the B team.[16]

Ania took over Caudal Deportivo on 11 June 2015,[17] achieving promotion to the third tier in his first year.[2] He left in May 2017,[18] becoming head coach of CF Villanovense the following month.[19]

On 17 May 2018, after narrowly missing out a play-off spot, Ania left Villanovense[20] and was appointed at Racing de Santander also in the third division.[21] He led the club to promotion at the end of the season, but was dismissed on 11 November 2019.[22]

On 21 June 2021, Ania joined Algeciras CF of Primera División RFEF, signing a four-year contract.[23] He departed on 27 June 2023,[24] and took over Córdoba CF the following day.[25] In his debut campaign in charge, he returned the Andalusians to the professional leagues after five years; his last experience there had also been in 2019, with Racing.[26][27]
