Mauricio Aníbal Isla Isla (American Spanish: [mauˈɾisjo ˈizla]; born 12 June 1988) is a Chilean footballer who plays for Cagliari Calcio and the Chile national team. A quick, hard-working, and tactically versatile player, Isla is capable of playing in several defensive and midfield roles on the right flank, or in the center of the field.
Isla started his career in the youth system of Universidad Católica, and later moved to Italian club Udinese in 2007, where he made his professional debut. His performances earned him a transfer to defending Serie A Champions Juventus where he won consecutive league titles during his first two seasons with the team. In 2014 he was sent on loan for a season to English side Queens Park Rangers, while he also spent the next season on loan with French club Marseille.
Isla has earned over 70 caps for Chile since his debut in 2007, and represented the nation in two FIFA World Cups (2010 and 2014) as well as the 2011 and 2015 Copa América tournaments, and the Copa América Centenario, winning the latter two tournaments.
Isla started in the youth ranks of Universidad Católica in 1999 as a forward. However his lack of height caused him to switch positions to defender, as Católica lacked quality youth defenders. Isla played well enough in the new position to earn a call-up to the first team in 2006, but never played an official match and in 2007, coach José del Solar sent him back to the youth team.
