Juan Carlos Mandiá Lorenzo (born 17 January 1967) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defender, and a current manager.
Mandiá was born in Alfoz, Province of Lugo. During his 16-year playing career he represented Real Madrid Castilla (adding two first-team appearances), RCD Español, Celta de Vigo – helping to a 1992 promotion to La Liga– CD Logroñés, CD Toledo and Córdoba CF.
Mandiá totalled 89 top flight matches over the course of seven seasons, going scoreless in the process.
Mandiá started a coaching career two years after retiring, achieving promotion from the third division with Hércules CF in 2005. In 2006–07's second level he served as assistant to Míchel at Real Madrid's reserves, as it eventually dropped down a level.
Mandiá then took the reins of the latter squad, falling just one point short of playoff contention in the 2007–08 campaign. After a second spell at Hércules he was named Racing de Santander's manager, in late June 2009. After a poor start to the season, notably only one point in the first five home matches, he was sacked by the Cantabrians on 9 November.
