José Quirante Pineda (10 May 1883 in Alicante, Spain – 30 May 1964 in Barcelona, Spain) was a footballer who played as a midfielder, being one of the first players to play for both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.[1] He is also remembered for being one of the first professional players of the still growing sport. Quirante was one of the most important players in the amateur beginnings of FC Barcelona, playing with them for a whole decade between 1901 and 1911.

Club career
Quirante was born in
During his trips to the capital of Spain due to work obligations, he did not give up on his passion for football and kept playing, doing so for two years (1906–08) with Real Madrid without ever abandoning the Barça ranks.[4]
Quirante was part of the club's first great team in the early 1910s, which had the likes of
He remained loyal to the club until 1911, the date on which he was expelled from the club due to discrepancies with the board:
International career
Like many other FC Barcelona players of that time, he played several matches for the Catalonia national team between 1904 and 1912, however, due to the little statistical rigor that the newspapers had at that time, the exact amount of caps he earned is unknown. On 8 December 1912, Catalonia faced a selection of foreigners at the Camp de la Indústria in a benefit match for the Sindicat de Periodistes, and Quirante started in a 5–2 win over the foreigners.[8] He was also one of the eleven footballers who played in the team's first-ever match on 30 May 1904.
Managerial career
His extensive knowledge of the game led him to dictate the tactics to be followed and Barcelona's game plans, thus basically performing the functions of Barça's coach between 1903 and 1907.
After his golden years at Madrid (1929–1930), he ended up in Sevilla FC, joining them during the 1930–31 season. In his first season in charge of the club the team finished in 3rd, the club's best position, however, they got 8th in 1931–32 and 9th in 1932–33.[10]
