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
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
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
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]
