José Ángel "Cuco" Ziganda Lakunza (born 1 October 1966) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a Striker, and the current manager of Bilbao Athletic.
He played in 381 La Liga games over the course of 12 seasons (111 goals scored), representing Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao.
Ziganda was born in Larraintzar, Navarre. A product of CA Osasuna's youth ranks he first appeared for his hometown's main squad on 13 December 1987, in a 0–0 home draw against CE Sabadell FC. An undisputed starter through 1989 to 1991 he scored 11 La Liga goals apiece during those seasons, thus attracting attention from neighbours Athletic Bilbao.
At Athletic since the start of 1991–92, Ziganda netted 17 goals in three separate campaigns, most notably a hat-trick at Albacete Balompié on 26 May 1993 in a 5–4 win, and helped the Basque side achieve a fifth place in 1994.
Ousted from Bilbao due to the emergence of Ismael Urzaiz, Ziganda returned to Osasuna in 1998, helping the club achieve promotion in 2000 and retiring after another top flight season. For his career he scored 111 league goals, 19 in the second division, nine in the UEFA Cup and six in the Copa del Rey.
