Juan Gutiérrez Moreno (born 23 July 1976), commonly known as Juanito, is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a central defender.
A player of physical display, he was noted for his excellent aerial ability. He spent the bulk of his career with Betis, appearing in 294 official matches and winning the 2005 Copa del Rey.
With the Spain national team, Juanito appeared in one World Cup and two European Championships, contributing to the conquest of Euro 2008.
Club career
=Cádiz and Betis=
Juanito was born in Cádiz. After taking his first steps as a senior with the reserves of hometown club Cádiz CF, he transferred to Andalusia neighbours Real Betis in 1997, spending three seasons with the reserves; in 2000–01 he was loaned to another team in the region, Recreativo de Huelva of Segunda División.
Juanito made his debut for Betis' main squad in the 2001–02 campaign, and immediately established himself as a regular starter, often scoring from deadball situations. His first came on 27 January 2002, a last-minute goal against Real Madrid in a 1–1 away draw.{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2002/01/28/deportes/1012172410_850215.html|title=El Madrid cae en los viejos vicios|trans-title=Madrid again prey to old habits|newspaper=El País|first=Santiago|last=Segurola|language=es|date=28 January 2002|access-date=14 June 2018}}
In 2004–05, Juanito netted four goals in 33 games as the side achieved qualification honours to the UEFA Champions League, also winning the Copa del Rey. David Rivas, the other stopper, added another four.{{cite news|url=http://masdeporte.as.com/masdeporte/2002/10/27/polideportivo/1035692148_850215.html|title=Con ocho basta si están Juanito y Rivas|trans-title=Eight is enough when Juanito and Rivas are around|newspaper=Diario AS|language=es|date=28 October 2002|access-date=27 April 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://videosdelbetis.com/historia/heroes-plantilla-del-betis-2004-200-parte-1/|title=¿Qué fue de los héroes de la 2004/05?

In the following three seasons, as Betis constantly battled La Liga relegation successfully, Juanito only missed a total of 13 league matches, adding six goals. On 22 April 2007, in a 2–2 draw at RCD Espanyol, he played the last minutes as a goalkeeper due to the dismissal of Pedro Contreras, with a penalty being awarded – Raúl Tamudo equalised.{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/204070?cc=5739|title=Espanyol 2–2 Real Betis|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|date=22 April 2007|access-date=14 May 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180615083243/http://www.espn.com/soccer/report?cc=5739&id=204070|archive-date=15 June 2018}}
=Atlético and Valladolid=
After being relegated at the end of 2008–09, Juanito moved to Atlético Madrid on a free transfer, aged almost 33.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/01db-0e72536a099a-4425f73fcc60-1000--juanito-leaves-betis-for-atletico/|title=Juanito leaves Betis for Atlético|publisher=UEFA|date=1 July 2009|access-date=22 April 2010}} His debut season was shaky, as he started as first-choice, was relegated to the bench, regained his position from Colombian Luis Perea and lost it again;{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2009/09/26/mas_futbol/1253916052_850215.html|title=Maxi y Juanito, al banquillo; Valera y Cléber, titulares|trans-title=Maxi and Juanito, to the bench; Valera and Cléber, starters|newspaper=Diario AS|language=es|date=26 September 2009|access-date=2 June 2022}}{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2010/04/04/mas_futbol/1270362442_850215.html|title=Juanito vuelve al once tras casi tres meses|trans-title=Juanito returns to starting XI nearly three months later|newspaper=Diario AS|first=Jorge|last=García|language=es|date=4 April 2010|access-date=2 June 2022}} on 4 April 2010 he scored his first goal as a Colchonero, opening the 3–0 home victory over Deportivo de La Coruña.{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/275876?cc=5739|title=Atlético Madrid 3–0 Deportivo La Coruña|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|date=4 April 2010|access-date=5 May 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024202609/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report/_/id/275876?cc=5739|archive-date=24 October 2012}}
For the 2010–11 campaign, all Atlético stoppers remained with the team and Uruguayan Diego Godín was also acquired. Hence, Juanito fell further down in the defensive pecking order,{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2010/08/14/mas_futbol/1281767233_850215.html|title=Juanito no viaja a Mallorca y ya busca una salida|trans-title=Juanito does not travel to Mallorca and is already looking for a way out|newspaper=Diario AS|first=Jorge|last=García|language=es|date=14 August 2010|access-date=14 June 2018}} only appearing in a Spanish Cup match against Universidad de Las Palmas CF (1–1 home draw, after a 5–0 away win in the first leg);{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/2010/11/10/futbol/equipos/atletico/1289426729.html|title=Un golazo de Mérida y poco más en un Calderón fantasmagórico|trans-title=Mérida wonder goal and little more in ghoulish Calderón|newspaper=Marca|language=es|date=11 November 2010|access-date=14 June 2018}} on 11 January 2011, he terminated his contract with the club, moving to second-tier Real Valladolid shortly after.{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2011/01/24/mas_futbol/1295823608_850215.html|title=El Real Valladolid ficha al central internacional Juanito|trans-title=Real Valladolid sign international stopper Juanito|newspaper=Diario AS|language=es|date=24 January 2011|access-date=14 June 2018}}
