Football career
Born in Madrid, Castañeda played six years with Real Madrid's B-team, the last two being spent in Segunda División. In the 1980 summer he moved into La Liga and joined CA Osasuna, making his debut in the competition on 7 September in a 1–0 home win against UD Las Palmas[1] and finishing his first season with 27 appearances as his team finished in 11th position.
