Born inFuenterrebollo,Segovia,Castile and León, the first sporting success of Fisac arrived in 2002, by promotingCB Tarragona to theLEB league. He would repeat promotion two years later withCiudad de Algeciras.
In 2004, Fisac signed withGipuzkoa BC, again in theLEB 2 league (third tier). In his first season, despite finishing as regular season winners, he could not achieve a new promotion due to being eliminated in the quarterfinals byCB Canarias. However, the club bought the LEB place of his former clubCiudad de Algeciras.
"I never felt so messed up for anything and I only can compare it with the death of my father."
In theclub's debut season in LEB, despite finishing the regular season in the sixth position, Gipuzkoa BC completed a perfect playoff with seven wins and no defeats and promoted to theLiga ACB. In thenext season, he could not avoid the last position and ended his stage at Gipuzkoa. Fisac compared the relegation of the club with the death of his father.[2]
After one season without coaching, Fisac took the helm of freshly relegated from Liga ACBCB Valladolid and achieved the promotion in his first season, and qualified the team to theCopa del Rey in 2011. He ended the contract in that year and signed withBaloncesto Fuenlabrada, where he was sacked.
Two years later, he came back to Valladolid, for coaching the club in their last season before relegation and in 2015, after starting the season withPalencia Baloncesto, he left the team as leader of theLEB Oro with a 9–1 record for agreeing terms with Gipuzkoa Basket. Fisac could not avoid finally their relegation, but he achieved a third promotion to Liga ACB in the next season.
In March 2016, Fisac was hired as manager of theSenegal national team.[3] After coaching the team in theOlympic Qualifying Tournament ofManila, he extended his contract for theAfroBasket 2017,[4] where he led the hosts to the bronze medal.
On 30 May 2018, despite avoiding successfully the relegation from Liga ACB, Fisac resigned to continue at the helm of GBC. He alleged he feels he "completed the cycle".[5]
Two weeks later, Fisac signed a two-year contract withTecnyconta Zaragoza.[6]
On July 8, 2020, he has signed withGran Canaria of theLiga ACB.[7]
