Juan Carlos Pérez Frías (born 27 July 1956), known as Juan Carlos, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Early life

Born in Madrid to hotel employee Pedro Pérez and his wife Isabel Frías, Juan Carlos and his ten siblings (eventually the couple fathered 12 children) moved with the family to Málaga at the age of 14.[2][3][4]

Club career

[edit]

Nacho played for CD Málaga during nine professional seasons, achieving promotions to La Liga in 1979 and 1982.[5] He made his debut in the competition on 26 March 1977 in a 1–2 away loss against RC Celta de Vigo,[6] and scored his first goal the following weekend to help the hosts defeat Real Sociedad by the same scoreline.[7]

Having been relegated at the end of the 1984–85 campaign,[5] the 29-year-old Juan Carlos left the La Rosaleda Stadium. After retiring, he worked with his brother as the club's doctor.[8][9][10][4]
