Rubén de la Red Gutiérrez (born 5 June 1985) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a central midfielder, and a current coach.
He made a name for himself at Getafe after emerging through Real Madrid's cantera. Returning to his first club in 2008, he suffered a serious heart ailment which put his career on hold for two years, until he retired in late 2010.
De la Red was part of Spain's squad at the victorious Euro 2008 tournament.
Born in Móstoles, Community of Madrid, de la Red arrived at the Real Madrid youth system when he was 14. At one point he was transferred to CD Móstoles after being told he was not good enough, but was soon re-signed by Madrid; after his fourth season youth coach Quique Sánchez Flores, who was moving to Getafe CF, wanted the player to join him at his new club, but Madrid turned him down.
De la Red made his first-team debut on 10 November 2004, in a 2–1 away win against CD Tenerife for the Copa del Rey. His first La Liga appearance came on 22 September 2005, playing two minutes in a 3–1 home triumph over Athletic Bilbao, and he appeared in two more games as a late substitute during that campaign.
In 2006–07, de la Red was called up to the main squad by manager Fabio Capello along with teammates Miguel Torres and Miguel Ángel Nieto, and made seven appearances during the league-winning season. On 9 November 2006 he scored his first goal with the main squad, closing the scoresheet against Écija Balompié for the domestic cup (5–1 home win, 6–2 aggregate); in July 2007, he renewed his contract until 2011.
