Playing career

edit

A product of Real Betis' youth system, Isidoro was born in Pedrera, Seville, and he made his first appearance with the first team in a 1–1 draw with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu in a Copa del Rey game, with Betis winning the tie on the away goals rule. Under the guidance of manager Luis Fernández, he played six consecutive La Liga matches (all starts) after his debut on 17 February 2007, also against Real Madrid and away (0–0 draw);[1] he was promoted to the main squad at the same time as Juande, but remained registered with the reserves for a further three full seasons.[2]

Isidoro appeared in 31 games for the Andalusians in the 2010–11 campaign, as they returned to the top division after a two-year absence. He moved abroad on 27 August 2012, signing a two-year contract with Polish club Polonia Warsaw;[3] he was released on 25 November, after only five official appearances.

In the following years, Isidoro competed in his country's second tier, in representation of CD Numancia, Elche CF and UD Almería.[4] In January 2018, he joined FK Bodø/Glimt from the Norwegian Eliteserien.[5]

Coaching career

edit

Isidoro retired at the end of 2019 aged 33, being immediately appointed assistant manager of Bodø/Glimt's lowly neighbours IK Junkeren.[6] He also worked at their academy.[7][8]
