José María Maguregui Ibarguchi (16 March 1934 – 30 December 2013) was a Spanish football midfielder and coach.
Born in Ugao-Miraballes, Biscay, Maguregui made his professional debuts in 1952 at the age of 18, with Basque Country giants Athletic Bilbao. After a poor first season in La Liga – 12 games, no goals – he became a very important first-team unit, helping them to the 1956 national championship and three Copa del Rey trophies in four years.
In 1963, after amassing official totals of and 235 matches and 42 goals, 29-year-old Maguregui left Athletic, retiring after spells with Sevilla FC (two years), RCD Español and Recreativo de Huelva. He gained seven caps for Spain in slightly less than two years, scoring in his debut on 19 June 1955, a 3–0 friendly win in Switzerland.
After managing his hometown club in amateur football, Maguregui moved to Sestao Sport, also in his native region. In 1972 he was appointed at Racing de Santander, achieving two top flight promotions with the Cantabrians and remaining five years with the team.
Maguregui then managed to lead two more teams to division one promotions, Celta de Vigo in 1978 and lowly AD Almería in 1979, overachieving with the latter in the following season (ninth-place finish), which prompted his signing with a club he had represented as a player, Español.
