Israel "Isra" Martínez Prieto (born 25 June 1990) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of Deportivo Alavés C.
Career[edit]
Born in Avilés, Martínez got a degree in Physical Activity and Sports Science and during the summer of 2016, he joined the coaching structure of Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, occupying several different positions – including the director of the youth academy.[1] During the 2019–20 season, he was named manager of the Juvenil A squad of Cultu in the Liga Nacional Juvenil, and achieved promotion to the División de Honor Juvenil with the side.
On 26 April 2021, Martínez was appointed manager of Cultural's reserve team Júpiter Leonés, following the appointment of Ramón González in the first team.[2] On 26 April 2023, after two years in charge of the reserve side, he took over the first team on a deal until the end of the season; he replaced sacked Eduardo Docampo.[3] On his senior managerial debut four days later, his side drew 1–1 at home to RC Celta Fortuna.[4]
On 31 May 2023, Martínez resigned as first team manager of Cultural, ending his seven-year stay at the club.[5] On 24 June, he was appointed at the helm of Deportivo Alavés' C-team in Tercera Federación on a contract for the 2023–24 campaign.[6]
