Josep Moratalla Claramunt (born 1 October 1958) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a manager.
He played seven seasons with the national powerhouse (also being loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña in the Segunda División as he was due to perform his compulsory military service in Galicia),[1] but only appeared a total of 19 times in La Liga in his first four years, barred by José Ramón Alexanko and Migueli[2]– for instance, when the Blaugrana won the national championship in the 1984–85 campaign, he only totalled 104 minutes in two matches;[3][4][5] he made his league debut for the club on 28 February 1982, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Sevilla FC.
[8] Moratalla played with Barcelona until 1988, being first choice in his final two years and adding the Copa del Rey to his trophy cabinet in his last.
[11][12][13] Moratalla's only experience in the Segunda División B came during 2000–01 with CE Premià, where he ultimately did not possess the necessary requirements to coach at that level after failing his exam.
[16] Additionally, Moratalla acted as sporting president of Barcelona's Agrupació Barça Jugadors, who held several activities and events involving past players of the organization.
