Manuel Rolando Iturra Urrutia (born 23 June 1984) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays for Italian club Udinese Calcio as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

U. Chile / Leiria

Born in Temuco, Iturra made his top division debuts with Club Universidad de Chile in 2003, aged 19. He proceeded to be a first-team regular from his second season onwards, helping La U to the 2004 and 2009 Apertura tournaments.[1]

In January 2011 Iturra was loaned to U.D. Leiria in Portugal,[2] making his Primeira Liga debut on 12 February by playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against C.D. Nacional. He started in all but one of the league games he featured in for the club as it eventually finished in tenth position and, at the end on the season, signed on a permanent basis.

Spain

For 2011–12 Iturra joined Real Murcia in the Spanish Segunda División, on loan.[3] After appearing heavily during the campaign he returned to Leiria, where he had his contract terminated.

On 28 August 2012, free agent Iturra became the first summer signing of Málaga CF, as a direct replacement for Enzo Maresca who had signed for U.C. Sampdoria a few days before.[4] He made his official debut on 18 September in the club's first-ever UEFA Champions League group stage match, coming on as a half-time substitute for Francisco Portillo in a 3–0 home win over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.[5]

On 16 January 2013 Iturra scored his first goal for Málaga, profitting from a defensive scramble to put the visitors ahead at the Camp Nou against FC Barcelona, in an eventual 2–2 draw for the season's Copa del Rey (4–6 aggregate loss).[6]

From 2013 to 2015, Iturra represented Granada CF also in La Liga after signing a three-year contract.[7] He made his competitive debut for his new team on 18 August, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 success at CA Osasuna.[8]

Udinese

International career

Iturra made his debut for Chile on 18 August 2005, against Peru. On 24 May of the following year, he scored the game's only goal in a friendly match with the Republic of Ireland.[9]

Iturra represented the nation at the 2007 Copa América in Venezuela, helping it to the quarterfinals.
