Iván Iglesias Corteguera (born 16 December 1971) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Born in Gijón, Asturias, Iglesias started playing professionally with local Sporting de Gijón. After only two seasons – and only appearing regularly in the second – he was signed by La Liga club FC Barcelona in summer 1993, after agreeing to a five-year contract.[1]
Never an undisputed starter at the Camp Nou, Iglesias did make 71 competitive appearances in his two-year spell. On 8 January 1994 he closed the scoring for Johan Cruyff's side against Real Madrid, in a 5–0 home rout[2] as Barcelona 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 flight. He retired in June 2002 aged 30 while at Rayo Vallecano in the same league, due to injuries, totalling 230 games and 21 goals over 11 seasons.
Iglesias later opened a football school with former Sporting teammate Juanele.[4]
