Template:Spanish name 2 Juan Vizcaíno Morcillo (born 6 August 1966 in Pobla de Mafumet, Tarragona, Catalonia) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder.
Regarded and praised as an accomplished role player, his career was intimately connected with Atlético Madrid.[1] Over the course of 13 seasons, he amassed La Liga totals of 396 games and 33 goals, also representing Zaragoza and Valladolid.
Club career
Vizcaíno started playing with hometown side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, being offered his first-team debuts by coach Xabier Azkargorta during 1982–83, not yet aged 17, with the Catalan outfit then in the third division.
In 1986, he stayed in that division, as he moved to Real Zaragoza but started playing with its reserves. On 9 March 1988, Vizcaíno made his La Liga debut against Sevilla FC, and remained a regular fixture until the end of his stay with the Aragonese, while also netting ten league goals from a defensive position.
Vizcaíno then signed with Atlético Madrid for 1990–91, starting every single match he appeared in in his first five years; in the sixth, he was the outfield player with most appearances (41 matches, 3,136 minutes played and three goals) as the capital side conquered the double.
After two more solid seasons, Vizcaíno left for Real Valladolid, then Elche CF in 2000–01, and closed out his career at almost 38 with his first club, Gimnàstic - the latter two teams in the second level. He stayed in the region afterwards, working for the city hall's sports departments in Pobla de Mafumet.
Vizcaíno returned to Atlético in 2011–12, being appointed new manager Gregorio Manzano's assistant coach.[2]
International career
Vizcaíno played 15 times for the Spanish national team, the first arriving on 16 January 1991 in a friendly with Portugal (1–1, in Castellón de la Plana).
The nation did not qualify for UEFA Euro 1992, and the player was ousted from the call-ups shortly after the arrival of new boss Javier Clemente.
