Ibon Begoña Zubiaur (born 17 November 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back, and the current assistant coach of UD Atlético Isleño.

Football career

Born in Bilbao, Basque Country, Begoña amassed La Liga totals of 145 games and five goals over the course of six seasons, in representation of Deportivo Alavés. He spent a total of eight years with the club in two separate spells and, during the 2000–01 campaign, contributed with ten appearances in the team's runner-up run in the UEFA Cup, scoring in the 3–1 away win against Lillestrøm SK for the second round.[1]

Other than with Alavés,[2] Begoña played professionally in Segunda División with Bilbao Athletic and Gimnàstic de Tarragona, retiring in June 2009 at the age of 35 after two years with lowly UD Ibiza-Eivissa,[3] with which he later worked as director of football.[4]
