Aitor Calle Hernández (born 28 June 1976) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a winger, and the manager of Sestao River Club.

Playing career[edit]

Calle was born in Deusto, Bilbao, Biscay, Basque Country, and played youth football for local side CD Salesianos. After first appearing in Tercera División with SD Lemona in 1999, he moved to Segunda División B side Amurrio Club in 2004.[1]

In July 2005, Calle joined Sestao River Club in the fourth division.[2] He moved to fellow league team Club Portugalete in the following year,[3] and subsequently played for SD San Pedro and SD Deusto in the regional leagues,[4] retiring with the latter in 2011 at the age of 34.

Managerial career[edit]

Immediately after retiring, Calle became a manager of his last club Deusto, and led the side to a promotion to the fourth division in 2015.[5] He left the club on 22 May 2017 to take over another club he represented as a player, Portugalete.[6]

Calle was sacked by Portu on 6 October 2017,[7] and was named at the helm of Haro Deportivo the following 13 June.[8] He led the club to a promotion to the third tier in his first season, suffering relegation in his third.[9]

On 23 June 2021, after previously agreeing to become a manager of CD Laredo,[10] Calle was announced in charge of Sestao in Segunda División RFEF.[11] He led the club to a promotion to Primera Federación in 2023.
