Juan Cutillas

Juan Cutillas España (; 2 July 1942 – 7 July 2025) was a Spanish professional footballer and later a manager. He was the head coach of the Philippines national team.

Education Cutillas studied medicine against the wishes of his father who had wanted him to enter law school. After finishing medical school, Cutillas became a doctor and practiced medicine for four years. He later took football coaching courses.

Andres Soriano of the San Miguel Corporation brought Cutillas along with Francisco Escalante, Enrique de la Mata Calvo, and Claudio Sanchez as a Spanish contingent to compete in local commercial leagues in the Philippines in 1961. Cutillas left the country in 1965 for Spain to finish his medical studies and earn his physical training diploma but later returned to the Philippines in 1967. Among his results with the national team on his first stint was a 2–1 win over American club Dallas Tornado at home in 1968 with practically the same squad that played in the 0–15 record loss to Japan in the Asian Olympic qualifiers. He also coached the Philippine team that participated at the 1968 AFC Youth Championship. The Philippines reached the quarterfinals, its best finish in the tournament. Florentino Broce took over as head coach of the national team from 1993 until 1994. The national team's poor performance at the 1974 Asian Games led to the Philippine Football Association opting to reappoint Cutillas. He served as head coach of the Queensland State and also the Queensland Academy of Sport from 1991 to 1996.

Personal life and death Cutillas returned to Spain after coaching with Kaya in the United Football League.

He married Tessy da Silva, a Filipina mestiza in 1964. They had two daughters. Da Silva died in 2022.

Cutillas resided in Benalmádena. He died in Málaga on 7 July 2025, at the age of 83.
