Playing career edit

Born in Girona, Catalonia, Molist began his career with AEC Manlleu before moving to FC Barcelona in January 1995. Initially assigned to the C-team, he made his professional debut with the reserves on 18 November 1995, in a 3–2 Segunda División home loss to Deportivo Alavés.

Molist became a regular starter for the B's during the 1997–98 season, and subsequently served loan stints at Swiss side Neuchâtel Xamax FC and CD Logroñés. He left Barça in September 2000,[1] and joined CE Sabadell FC in Segunda División B the following month.

Molist agreed to a contract with CD Badajoz in the second division in 2001, and was a regular starter for the club in his first season. He left for Gimnàstic de Tarragona in the third tier in January 2003,[2] but returned to division two in July after signing for Terrassa FC.[3]

Molist moved to CD Castellón in the third tier in January 2005,[4] and helped in the side's promotion to the second division before joining FC Cartagena.[5] He signed for fellow third division side CF Badalona in 2008, but suffered an Achilles tendon injury which sidelined him for nine months.[6]

Molist returned to Terrassa in 2010, with the club now in the fourth tier. He left the club on 15 February 2013,[7] and joined Primera Catalana side UA Horta four days later.[8]

Molist announced his retirement in June 2014, aged 37, after featuring in nearly 700 official matches.[9]

Managerial career edit

Immediately after retiring, Molist became manager of the Juvenil side of his last club Horta. He took over the first team squad in 2015, and led the club to a promotion to the fourth tier in 2017.[10]

On 12 June 2017, Molist was appointed manager of CE L'Hospitalet in the fourth division.[11] He was sacked on 7 April 2019,[12] before taking over Terrassa on 4 June.[13]

Dismissed by Terrassa on 29 December 2020,[14] and spent more than a year without a club before being named at the helm of UE Sant Andreu on 28 February 2022.[15] He renewed his contract for a further year on 6 April,[16] and agreed to a new one-year extension on 15 June 2023, after achieving promotion to Segunda Federación.[17]
