Javier Zubillaga


José Javier Zubillaga Martínez is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.

Football career

During his ten-year professional career, Zubillaga played with Real Sociedad and RCD Español. He won the La Liga title in the 1981–82 season with the former team, although he only contributed with eight games. Until 1987, year in which he helped the Basques conquer the Copa del Rey, he never played in more than 18 league matches, and left precisely in that summer.
Zubillaga then spent four years in Catalonia, experiencing one promotion and relegation each in consecutive seasons. He finally retired in 1991 at nearly 32, taking up coaching in the following decade, always in Segunda División B – he also worked with several clubs in directorial capacities from 1994 onwards, including hometown's CD Logroñés.
