Francisco Javier Falagán Hernández (born 4 October 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Football career

Born in Valladolid, Castile and León, Falagán played in the lower leagues until 1993, when he represented Hércules CF in Segunda División loaned by neighbouring Valencia CF. Whilst with the former, he had already gained promotion to the category in 1993.

In the 1995–96 season Falagán played all 42 games in La Liga with SD Compostela, his solid performances earning him a place in Javier Clemente's shortlist for UEFA Euro 1996 as one of the five goalkeepers.[1] In the following campaign he appeared significantly less, but still managed to be the most used player in his position as the Galicians again retained their division status.

Falagán played three more seasons in the second level, with Hércules and CP Mérida. He retired at the end of 1999–2000 at the age of only 30, due to injury.[2]

Falagán later worked as a goalkeeper coach, with Porriño CF, CD Casablanca, Gran Peña FC and Coruxo FC.
