José Manuel Suárez Rivas, aka Sietes (born 18 February 1974 in Sietes, Asturias), is a Spanish footballer, who currently plays for "Tercera División" side CD Lealtad. He operates as a left back, with speed as his main attribute.

Sietes, who received his nickname from his birthplace, started playing for local giants Real Oviedo, first appearing with the main squad on March 27, 1994, in a 0-0 draw at Real Valladolid. With just 9 league games throughout the entire season, he did score two goals in back-to-back games, in 3-0 successes over Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid.

Signing with Valencia CF in 1995-96, Sietes was used sparingly over two seasons, and moved to Racing de Santander for 1997-98, where he would constantly battle relegation (which would eventually befall in 2000-01, returning in the immediate following season).

After that, Sietes' career was unassuming with stints mainly in the Spanish second level, punctuated by a season with Watford F.C., in the English second division (no games played).

After appearing in only 5 games for CD Numancia in 2007-08, as the Soria side returned to La Liga after a three-year absence, Sietes moved to fourth-tier outfit CD Lealtad, in Villaviciosa, Asturias.

Sietes represented Spain at the 1996 Summer Olympics, appearing once four the quarterfinalists.
