context_page_description: Gustavo Adolfo Munúa Vera is a Uruguayan former footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the manager of Club Nacional de Football.
  After starting out at Nacional he spent most of his professional career in Spain, mainly at Deportivo de La Coruña where he could never be a starter in six seasons. He also played in the country for Málaga and Levante, being first-choice and appearing in 151 La Liga matches over one full decade.
  An Uruguayan international for six years, Munúa represented the country at the 2002 World Cup.
context_section_description: On 28 June 2009, Munúa signed a one-year contract with Málaga CF. At his new club he was an instant first-choice, appearing in all the league games in his first year as the Andalusians barely avoided relegation (17th position).
  After only one season, Munúa rejected a new contract offer and was released by the club, on 26 May 2010. On 6 August he signed with Levante UD, returned to the top level after two years, and he made his official debut on 28 August, in a 1–4 home defeat against Sevilla FC.
  Munúa was a starter for the Valencian Community side throughout the vast majority of his spell. However, late into his third season, he, alongside Sergio Ballesteros and Juanlu, was accused by teammate José Barkero of lack of commitment during a 4–0 home loss against Deportivo, which led to several match fixing allegations.
