Juan Cutillas España is a retired Spanish professional footballer and manager. He is a former manager of the Philippines national football team.[1][2]

Education

Cutillas studied medicine against the wishes of his father who had wanted him to enter law school. After finishing medical school, Cutillas became a doctor and practiced medicine for four years. He later took football coaching courses.[3]

Football career

Club

Cutillas played for the youth team of

Atletico de Madrid. When called up to join the first team, he was forced to decline the offer because he was engaged in compulsory military service at the time. He eventually played for the first team in a game against Zaragoza.[3]

Andres Soriano of the San Miguel Corporation brought Cutillas along with Francisco Escalante, Enrique de la Mata Calvo, and Claudio Sanchez as a Spanish contingent to compete in local commercial leagues in the Philippines in 1961. Cutillas left the country in 1965[4] for Spain to finish his medical studies and earn his physical training diploma[5] but later returned to the Philippines in 1967.[4]

Managerial

Philippines

After returning from Spain where he also obtained a national coaching license,[5] Cutillas was appointed as the head coach of the Philippine national team in late 1967, succeeding Emilio Pacheco.[6] Among his results with the national team on his first stint was a 2–1 win over American club Dallas Tornado at home in 1968 with practically the same squad that played in the 0–15 record loss to Japan in the Asian Olympic qualifiers. He also coached the Philippine team that participated at the 1968 AFC Youth Championship. The Philippines reached the quarterfinals, its best finish in the tournament. Florentino Broce took over as head coach of the national team from 1993 until 1994. The national team's poor performance at the 1974 Asian Games led to the Philippine Football Association opting to reappoint Cutillas.[4] Cutillas coached until 1978.[1]

He also led

NCAA, as well as steering the San Miguel Corporation FC to five PFA championships.[5]

Australia

In 1985, during the onset of the

Taringa Rovers in the Queensland Cup.[1][7] He served as head coach of the Queensland State and also the Queensland Academy of Sport from 1991 to 1996.[1]

Return to the Philippines

Cutillas coached the Philippine national team thrice after he returned from Australia, from 1981 to 1984,[1] 1996 to 2000 and 2008 to 2009.

Cutillas became head coach of Pachanga Diliman but later left for Kaya due to issues with some members of the management staff of the former.[3]

Other sports

Cutillas was a lecturer at the University of the Philippines and was the physical director of the Philippine National Men's Basketball team from 1976 to 1985.[1] He was the trainer of the Philippine team to the 1974 FIBA World Championship.[8]
