Juanma López (footballer)

Juan Manuel López Martinez (born 3 September 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender (occasionally he could operate in the flanks).During his professional career he played solely for Atlético Madrid, his debut with the first team coming in the dying stages of 1990–91 as he was still registered for the reserves, and would be the following season.[4] From 1997 to 2001 (with the last season being played in the Segunda División), however, consistent injuries limited the often considered over-aggressive player to just 12 games, and he eventually retired due to an anterior cruciate ligament ailment from which he never fully recovered.[7] For Spain, López won the gold medal in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona,[8] and participated at UEFA Euro 1996, receiving 11 full caps in a five-year span.His senior debut came on 9 September 1992 in a friendly 1–0 win against England in Santander, also the first for coach Javier Clemente – both López and Solozábal played the entire match.
