Ismael Piñera Zapatero (born May 27, 1977 in Gijón), commonly known as Isma Piñera, is a Spanish retired footballer.

Playing career

Isma Piñera began his career with affiliate clubs to Sporting de Gijón, while studying at the Colegio de la Inmaculada. He spent a short spell with Candás, before making his Sporting debut on 12 November 1997, in a 0-1 loss to Mérida.[1]

He spent the majority of his career with Sporting, before a serious injury sustained in 2002 sidelined him for over 2 years. On his return, it was deemed his performances were not of a high enough quality, and he was sold to lower division side Racing de Ferrol.

Coaching career

Piñera currently works as a coach for Sporting de Gijón B.[2] In July 2015, he was appointed assistant manager to Tomás Hervás,[3] and in April 2016, he became interim manager for the Tercera División side after Hervás was sacked.[4] His time as manager was short lived, as José Alberto López was appointed in June 2016.[5]
