José Juan Romero Gil (born 22 November 1974) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and the manager of AD Ceuta FC.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Gerena, Seville, Andalusia, Romero represented Gerena CF and CD Atlético Oromana as a youth before making his senior debut with CD Salteras. He later moved to Tercera División side UD Tomares after a period with CF Marchena Balompié, and represented Dos Hermanas CF in the same category.[2]

In 2006, after another stint at Tomares, Romero retired with AD Cerro del Águila at the age of 31.

Managerial career

[edit]

Shortly after retiring, Romero returned to his hometown and took over the first team of newly created club CD Gerena.[2] While in charge of them, he achieved four promotions in seven years, leading the side to Tercera División; during the 2014–15 season, his team finished third, missing out promotion to Segunda División B in the play-offs.[3]

On 23 February 2016, Romero left Gerena after being appointed manager of Real Betis' reserves in the third division.[4] On 5 June 2019, after failing to achieve promotion from the fourth tier, he left the club,[5] and was named in charge of AD Ceuta FC also in the fourth tier nine days later.[6]

On 19 June 2021, Romero was appointed CD Eldense manager in Segunda División RFEF.[7] He led the club to a promotion to Primera Federación,[1] but was sacked on 5 July 2022 due to "disciplinary reasons".[8]

On 20 September 2022, Romero returned to Ceuta, with the club now also in division three.[9] The following 14 June, he renewed his contract for a further year.[10]

Personal life

[edit]

Romero's younger brother Quique was also a footballer. A forward, he was groomed at Betis and played in La Liga with Recreativo de Huelva.[11]

Since 2015, Gerena's municipal stadium is named Estadio José Juan Romero Gil, as an honour to his spell managing the club of the city.[12]
