Juan Manuel Delgado Moreno (born 13 January 1977 in Huelva, Andalusia), aka Juanma, is a retired Spanish professional footballer who played as a central defender.

Football career

Juanma started his professional career with Recreativo de Huelva in 1996. Three years later he signed for Atlético de Madrid, but only played for its B-team and left for UD Salamanca, in the second level. However, in January 2001, Juanma signed for Racing de Santander, making his debut at the highest level on January 14, 2001.

Juanma was manager Joaquín Caparrós' first signing for Deportivo de La Coruña when he was signed in July 2005 from Racing in a free transfer.^[1] In an October 26 home feature against Real Madrid, he scored twice as Depor prevailed 3–1,^[2] and scored four league goals in 23 appearances during the season.

In 2006–07, however, after Portuguese Jorge Andrade fully recovered from injury, he would be virtually absent from the team's first eleven. After some transfer speculation, Juanma signed for second division team CD Tenerife for 2007–08, being released midway through his second campaign. In January 2009, he joined Cádiz CF, then in the third level, but was waived seven months later.
