Juan Eduardo Esnáider (born 5 March 1973) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a striker, and the current manager of Japanese club JEF United Chiba.
Having spent most of his professional career in Spain, he was known as a powerful player with an excellent aerial game. In that country, he started at Real Madrid, having almost no impact with its first team, going on to represent another four teams (mostly Real Zaragoza) and amass La Liga totals of 197 games and 74 goals.
Born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Esnáider began his footballing career with Ferro Carril Oeste, and made his professional debut in a game against Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield on 2 September 1990. After only six games, he was bought by Real Madrid, and still managed two first-team appearances during the 1990–91 season, also going on to score nearly 20 goals for the reserves in Segunda División.
However, Esnáider never really settled in the main squad, and moved on loan to Real Zaragoza for 1993–94 (with the latter having the option to buy at the end of the campaign). He quickly developed into one of European football's most in-form strikers and, already property of the Aragonese side, helped it to the 1994–95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, scoring in the final against Arsenal and being the tournament's best scorer (he also added 16 in La Liga).
