About Pablo Ibáñez

  • Pablo Ibáñez Tébar (born 3 August 1981), sometimes known as just Pablo, is a Spanish former footballer who played as a centre back. Pablo was born in Madrigueras.
  • He began his football career in the youth teams of his local professional club, Albacete, with whom he earned promotion from the Segunda División to La Liga in 2003.
  • A year later, he signed for Atlético Madrid where he made nearly 200 appearances over six seasons.
  • His career with Atlético was marred by controversy when one of the 2006 presidential candidates for their city rivals Real Madrid claimed that a deal was in place for Real to sign Pablo should he win the election.
  • Although he re-established himself in the Atlético team, contributing to a fourth-place finish in 2008, he played increasingly rarely towards the end of his time with the club, and in 2010 he moved to England.
  • He spent a season with Premier League club West Bromwich Albion and two with Football League Championship (second-tier) club Birmingham City. At international level, Pablo was capped 10 times for Spain's under-21 team before making his first appearance for the senior national team in 2004.
  • He went on to earn 23 caps and represented his country at the 2006 World Cup.
