Emili Josep Isierte Aguilar (born 13 November 1963) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Playing career

Born in Amposta, Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Isierte started and finished his 15-year senior career with CD Castellón.[1] He helped them to achieve La Liga promotion in the 1988–89 season, as Segunda División champions.[2]

Isierte appeared in all 38 games in 1991–92's top flight for Sporting de Gijón, who had lost longtime incumbent Juan Carlos Ablanedo to an anterior cruciate ligament injury;[3][4][5] that campaign, he went seven matches without conceding a goal, a club record that stood for several years.[6] In the UEFA Cup, he played a key role in the first round win against FK Partizan on penalties, with the second leg taking place in Istanbul due to the Yugoslav Wars.[7]

Ablanedo subsequently returned to fitness, and Isierte was sent to fellow top-tier side RCD Español on loan.[8] Having made 70 total appearances for Sporting, he then spent four seasons in the second division with UE Lleida.[3]

Coaching career

After retiring, Isierte worked under José Luis Oltra at several teams.[6] He also had two spells as goalkeeper coach of Castellón.[9]

Personal life

Isierte's son, David, was also a footballer. A defender, he too was brought up at Castellón.[10]
