About Juan de Cárcer

Lived 1892 – 1962 (aged 69–70). Juan de Cárcer was a Spanish association football coach and association football player.

Juan de Cárcer y Disdier (1892 in Málaga – October 1962 in Madrid) was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper and was also a referee, and manager. As a player, he represented both Madrid FC (Now Real Madrid) and Athletic Madrid (Now Atlético Madrid), and as a manager, he coached Real Madrid for six years from 1920 to 1926, but failed to win any trophies.

International career Like many other Madrid players of that time, he was summoned to play for the 'Centro' (Madrid area) representative team, and in May 1916, he was a member of the team that participated in the second edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup in 1916, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF. In the opening game against Catalonia he conceded 6 goals as Madrid lost 3–6 to their rivals, an event that not only prompted his dismissal from Real Madrid in that same year, it also cost him his place to the team's backup goalkeeper, Joaquín Pascual, who started in the second leg against Catalonia in a 2–2 draw. He was not a member of the Madrid team that won the 1917 Prince of Asturias Cup, but he started in both games of the 1918 edition, both ending in victories as Madrid won their second title in a row.

Managerial career As a coach, he managed Real Madrid for six years from 1920 to 1926, but failed to win any trophies.
