José Antonio Salguero García

José Antonio Salguero García (born 25 January 1960) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender.

In La Liga, he played almost exclusively with Real Madrid (six seasons) and Sevilla (five), winning six titles with the former club. His senior career lasted 18 years.

Club career Born in Fuente de Piedra, Province of Málaga, Salguero started playing professionally with his hometown club CD Málaga, making his La Liga debut in 1979–80 in a relegation-ending campaign. In the subsequent off-season he signed for Real Madrid, but spent almost two entire years with their reserves, being nonetheless part of the squad that won the 1982 Copa del Rey.

Salguero only managed to start regularly for Madrid in 1986–87, making 28 appearances – and partnering legendary Manolo Sanchís as centre-back – as they won the national championship. Previously, he was relatively used in back-to-back UEFA Cup conquests, and left in 1987 with 138 competitive games to his credit.

Aged 32, Salguero moved to Segunda División and joined CP Mérida, being first-choice during his three-year spell and helping the Extremadura team to promote to the top division for the first time ever in 1995. Supercopa de España runner-up: 1982

Mérida Segunda División: 1994–95
