Club career

Triestina

He made his Serie B debut with Triestina during the 2005–06 season.

Bellaria

Juanito left for Bellaria in co-ownership deal in summer 2007 after a successful loan,[1]

Verona

In June 2008 Triestina bought back Juanito for €21,500 from Bellaria.[1] In the same transfer window he was sold to Verona in another co-ownership deal for €80,000.[2] In June 2009 Triestina gave up the residual 50% registration rights to Verona for free.[2] In 2010–2011 his 18 goals ensured that he was a key player in the promotion of Gubbio to Serie B, the club's first appearance in the division in 63 years.[3]

On 7 July 2015 Juanito signed a new contract with Verona.[4]

On 8 August 2017, he came to a mutual agreement with the club to cancel his contract.[5]

Sicula Leonzio

On 11 September 2018, he signed with the Serie C club Sicula Leonzio on a one-year deal with option for the second year.[6]

Gubbio

On 22 October 2019 he returned to Gubbio (now back in the Serie C) until the end of the 2019–20 season.[7] A few days earlier Vincenzo Torrente, who coached Juanito with Gubbio to promotion to Serie B in the 2010–11 season, was hired as the club's head coach once again.
