Germán Adrián Ramón Burgos (Spanish pronunciation: [xerˈmam ˈburɣos]; born 16 April 1969) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the current assistant coach for Atlético Madrid.
Born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Burgos started playing professionally with Ferro Carril Oeste. In 1994 he moved to Argentine Primera División giants Club Atlético River Plate, where he was dubbed Mono (monkey) because of his height and disheveled appearance, going on to win several titles during his spell, notably the 1994 Apertura where his team did not lose one single game.
In July 1999, Burgos moved abroad, joining Spain's RCD Mallorca. During his two-year spell in the Balearic Islands, he played understudy to compatriot Leo Franco; on 27 November 1999, he was suspended for 11 games for assaulting RCD Espanyol player Manolo Serrano in a match played the following week, in an action that eluded the referee but was caught on camera.
Burgos signed for Atlético Madrid in the 2001–02 season, with the capital club in Segunda División. He had his best year in the country in an eventual return to La Liga after a two-year absence, but appeared less in the following two campaigns, retiring at the end of 2003–04 aged 35. He was remembered for his performance in a Madrid derby against Real Madrid in the Colchoneros' first season back in the top flight, in which he saved Luís Figo's penalty kick with his nose, causing a bloody injury; he played on, and his team found an equaliser for a 2–2 draw.
