José Javier Zubillaga Martínez (born 12 August 1959 in Logroño, La Rioja) 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. With the former he won the La Liga title in the 1981–82 season, although he only contributed with eight games (184 minutes, no complete matches). Until 1987, year in which he helped the Basque 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, namely hometown's CD Logroñés.
