Juan Miguel García Inglés (born 9 March 1971), known as Juanmi, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Over the course of 12 seasons – 18 as a professional in total – he appeared in 267 La Liga games, mainly in representation of Zaragoza (nine years).
Club career
Juanmi was born in Cartagena, Region of Murcia. He begun his career with local Cartagena FC, appearing in two Segunda División games in the 1987–88 season – still a junior – in a relegation-ending campaign. In the 1990 summer he joined Real Madrid, going on to play two full seasons for the reserves; in 1992–93 he was third-choice for the main squad, behind Francisco Buyo and Pedro Jaro.
In the 1993 off-season Juanmi moved to Real Zaragoza, as backup to veteran Andoni Cedrún. After two years as second-choice (although he did manage 27 La Liga appearances combined) he went on to become the Aragonese side's undisputed starter, being instrumental in the club's 2001 conquest of the Copa del Rey.
In July 2002, following Zaragoza's top level relegation, Juanmi signed for Deportivo de La Coruña on a free transfer, initially backing up José Francisco Molina.[1] However, a testicular cancer to the latter made him the starter, and he performed well enough to help the Galicians eventually finish third.
Subsequently Juanmi played with Real Murcia, alternating between the posts and the bench in four years. After only six appearances in the 2006–07 season, in a final promotion, he moved to Gimnàstic de Tarragona also in the second division for one year. He retired in June 2008 at the age of 37, being immediately named hometown's FC Cartagena's goalkeeping coach.
International career
Juanmi collected one cap for Spain, on 26 January 2000, in a match played in his city of birth. He replaced Molina for the final six minutes against Poland, in a 3–0 friendly win.[2]
