Juan Manuel Gómez Sánchez (born 29 May 1981), known as Juanma, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a right midfielder.
In the summer of 2004 he joined Levante UD for four years,[1] making his La Liga debut on 26 September in a 4–3 away loss against Real Zaragoza;[2] he would finish the season with five goals, but the side was relegated.
After a loan stint with Recreativo de Huelva, Juanma returned to the Valencian Community club, in another relegation-ending campaign.
On 6 August 2008 he moved to Real Betis on a four-year contract for roughly €1 million,[3] scoring his first goal for the Andalusians in late October against CD Castellón in a 2–0 away victory over CD Castellón in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.
After an unassuming five-month spell at Villarreal CF,[7] the 32-year-old Juanma signed a one-year deal with Deportivo Alavés in August 2013,[8] retiring after two Segunda División seasons and 54 competitive matches.
