Iván Iglesias Corteguera (born 16 December 1971) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Football career
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Iglesias started playing professionally with local Sporting de Gijón. After only two seasons – and only appearing regularly in his second – he was signed by La Liga powerhouse FC Barcelona in the 1993 off-season, after agreeing to a five-year contract.[1]
Never an undisputed starter at the Camp Nou, Iglesias did amass nearly 70 official appearances in his two-year spell. On 8 January 1994 he closed the scoresheet for Johan Cruyff's side against Real Madrid, in a 5–0 home demolition[2] as Barça eventually clinched the league title.[3]
Iglesias then returned to Sporting for another campaign, appearing sparingly, after which he switched to neighbouring Real Oviedo where he would stay four years, always in the top level. He retired in June 2002 at only 30 while at Rayo Vallecano (also in the first division), due to injuries, totalling 230 games and 21 goals in 11 seasons.
Iglesias later opened a football school, with former Sporting teammate Juanele.[4]
