Jacinto Quincoces

Jacinto Quincoces, born on July seventeenth, nineteen oh five, was a distinguished Spanish football player and manager, as well as a notable figure in the world of acting. Renowned for his prowess as a central defender, he is celebrated as one of the greatest defenders of the inter-war era, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.

Throughout his career, Quincoces represented the Spain national football team in twenty-five matches from nineteen twenty-eight to nineteen thirty-six. His international accolades include participation in the 1928 Summer Olympics and being a key member of Spain's squad for the 1934 FIFA World Cup. In nineteen forty-five, he took on the role of national coach, leading the team in two matches.

Football ran in the Quincoces family, as his brother Juan also played professionally, enjoying a brief stint with Alavés where they were teammates. The legacy continued with his nephew, Juan Carlos Díaz Quincoces, who also became a professional footballer and represented Spain internationally, often referred to simply as 'Quincoces' in homage to his illustrious uncle. Their paths crossed again at Valencia, where they collaborated as coach and player during two separate periods.
