Diego "Diegui" Johannesson Pando (born 3 October 1993) is an Icelandic footballer who plays for Real Oviedo as a right-back.
Club career
Born in Villaviciosa, Asturias to an Icelandic father and a Spanish mother,[1] Johannesson joined Real Oviedo's youth setup in the 2011 summer, after spells at SD Llano 2000 and Sporting de Gijón. He made his debuts as a senior with the reserves in 2012, in Tercera División.
Initially a right winger, Johannesson was converted to a right back during the 2013–14 season. On 3 September 2014, he made his first team debut, starting in a 4–0 Copa del Rey home routing of SD Amorebieta.[2]
Johannesson appeared in 13 first team matches during the campaign, as his side was promoted as champions. He made his professional debut on 25 October 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for José Manuel Fernández in a 2–4 Segunda División away loss against SD Ponferradina.[3]
On 4 July 2017, after already becoming a full-time member of the first team squad, Johannesson renewed his contract until 2019.[4]
International career
On 10 December 2014, Johannesson committed himself to Iceland, after stating that he would "dream of playing with its national team".[1] On 25 January 2016, he received his first call up, being included in Lars Lagerbäck and Heimir Hallgrímsson's squad for a friendly against the United States.[5][6]
Johannesson made his full international debut on 31 January 2016, replacing Guðmundur Þórarinsson at half-time in a 2–3 loss at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.[7]
