Born in Madrid to hotel employee Pedro Pérez and his wife Isabel FrÃÂas, Juan Carlos and his ten siblings (eventually the couple fathered 12 children) moved with the family to Málaga at the age of 14.
Nacho played for CD Málaga during nine professional seasons, achieving promotions to La Liga in 1979 and 1982. He made his debut in the competition on 26 March 1977 in a 2âÂÂ1 away loss against RC Celta de Vigo, and scored his first goal the following weekend to help the hosts to defeat Real Sociedad by the same scoreline.
Having been relegated at the end of the 1984âÂÂ85 campaign, the 29-year-old Juan Carlos left the La Rosaleda Stadium. After retiring, he worked with his brother as the club's doctor.
Juan Carlo's brother and nephew, respectively José Ignacio and Ignacio, were also footballers. They too played for Málaga.
