Diego Díaz Garrido (born 30 December 1968), known simply as Diego, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Club career Mainly a backup throughout his entire career, Madrid-born Diego played mainly for Atlético Madrid. In his late years, he engaged in an interesting battle for first-choice status with veteran Abel Resino but never really broke into the first team, with his main club or any other.
In January 1991, Diego went on a six-month loan at Sporting de Gijón as replacement for the severely injured Juan Carlos Ablanedo; shortly after arriving, he was also sidelined with physical problems. Over the course of seven seasons, he appeared in 61 La Liga games.
