Juan de Dios Prados López (born 12 August 1986), known as Juande, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

=Betis=

Born in Alicante, Valencian Community, and brought up in Real Betis' youth system, Juande was raised in Motril, Province of Granada since he was a child,[https://as.com/futbol/2007/10/15/mas_futbol/1192429617_850215.html "En el futuro sólo me veo jugando en el Betis" ("I can only see myself playing in Betis in the future")]; Diario AS, 15 October 2007 (in Spanish) and he made his debut for the first team on 6 December 2005 in a UEFA Champions League game against R.S.C. Anderlecht, being replaced by Marcos Assunção in the 71st minute of a 0–1 home loss as the race for the UEFA Cup position was already decided in favour of the former.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170424042740/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2005/matches/round=2201/match=1100343/index.html Betis 0–1 Anderlecht]; UEFA, 6 December 2005

Juande would only play in La Liga in the following season, his debut coming on 17 February 2007 as he started and was booked in a 0–0 draw at Real Madrid; at this time he was still registered for the reserves.[http://sevilla.eldesmarque.com/real-betis/22302--sp-1462748378 Isidoro y Juande serán titulares en el Bernabéu (Isidoro and Juande will start at the Bernabéu)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216030349/http://sevilla.eldesmarque.com/real-betis/22302--sp-1462748378|date=16 February 2018}}; El Desmarque, 17 January 2007 (in Spanish) He would appear in 22 matches in the 2007–08 campaign, scoring his first goal on 19 April 2008 in a 3–1 win over Atlético Madrid at the Vicente Calderón Stadium.[https://archive.today/20120716194927/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/239935?cc=5739 Atlético Madrid 1–3 Real Betis]; ESPN Soccernet, 19 April 2008

On 5 November 2007, it was speculated that English Premier League team Liverpool would make a 8 million purchase of Juande, replacing Mohamed Sissoko,[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/7077473.stm Sunday's gossip column]; BBC Sport, 4 November 2007 but the deal never materialised. He played only nine games in 2008–09 as Betis were relegated to Segunda División after eight years, adding 19 (with two goals) the following season, with the Andalusians failing to regain their lost status.[http://elcorreoweb.es/historico/con-una-defensa-asi-no-se-puede-llegar-muy-lejos-NPEC186380 Con una defensa así no se puede llegar muy lejos (With such a defence you will not get very far)]; El Correo, 4 October 2009 (in Spanish)[http://www.marca.com/2010/06/19/futbol/2adivision/1276971639.html La goleada más inútil y triste del beticismo (Betis' most useless and saddest rout)]; Marca, 19 June 2010 (in Spanish)

In the last days of the 2011 January transfer window, Juande was loaned to Betis neighbours Granada CF, joining his local club until the end of the second division campaign.[http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/realbetis/891375/juande/cedido/granada.html Juande, cedido al Granada (Juande, loaned to Granada)]; Diario de Sevilla, 28 January 2011 (in Spanish) He totalled 29 appearances for the two teams, with both finally attaining promotion.[http://granadacf.ideal.es/noticias/2011-06-27/277487-juande-prados-despide-granada-mediante.html Juande Prados se despide del Granada mediante una carta a la afición (Juande Prados says goodbye to Granada through letter to fans)]; Ideal, 27 June 2011 (in Spanish)

On 29 January 2023, Juande was seriously injured during the match against Melbourne City FC when he and City's Florin Berenguer challenged for the ball in the 66th minute, breaking his right leg. Adelaide head coach Carl Veart commented: "It's something that you don't want to ever witness on a football field".{{cite news|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/8065133/horror-juande-injury-overshadows-alm-match/|title=Horror Juande injury overshadows ALM match|publisher=The Murray Valley Standard|first=Anna|last=Harrington|date=29 January 2023|access-date=30 January 2023}} "I was literally metres away from where it happened and I could hear the crack, it was an awful sound", sideline commentator Michael Zappone said; the match was paused for nearly half an hour as a consequence.{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/aleague-mens-melbourne-city-vs-adelaide-united-juande-breaks-leg-news-video-horror-injury-score-results/news-story/745d5dc87274dd8308ba3c48b61ff5fc|title=Horror injury stuns A-League as match paused for half-hour|publisher=Fox Sports|date=29 January 2023|access-date=30 January 2023}}
