The great <strong>Uruguayan<\/strong> midfielder opted to connect his life with <strong>PAOK<\/strong>, continuing as the coach of the <strong>Under-20<\/strong> side, the <strong>Under-19s, <\/strong>and then on to the <strong>senior team<\/strong> \u2013 after retiring from playing. He has already won three consecutive championships with <strong>Under-19s<\/strong>. Moreover, in the <strong>2014-15<\/strong> season, he had a short stint as an interim coach of the <strong>PAOK<\/strong> first team. He holds a <strong>UEFA A<\/strong> diploma.<\/p>\n<p>As a footballer,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paokfc.gr\/en\/profiles\/pablo-garcia-2-en\/\">Garcia<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0began his career with <strong>Montevideo Wanderers<\/strong>, continued at <strong>Penarol<\/strong>, and six months later was transferred to <strong>Atletico Madrid<\/strong>, which was then playing in <strong>Spain\u2019s<\/strong> second division.

In his first season with <strong>Real<\/strong> he made 25 appearances as teh club finished second in La Liga.<\/p>\n<p>The then <strong>Real<\/strong> coach, however, <strong>Fabio Capello<\/strong>, sent him out on loan to <strong>Celta Vigo<\/strong>. From there he moved to <strong>Real Murcia<\/strong> until the summer of 2008, when he agreed a contract to move to <strong>PAOK<\/strong>. Just before he hung up his boots as a player, he had a short spell with <strong>Xanthi<\/strong>. At international level, he made his <strong>Uruguay<\/strong> debut on <strong>December 13, 1997<\/strong> in a game against the <strong>United Arab Emirates<\/strong>.
