Juan Manuel 'Juanma' Ortiz Palazón (born 1 March 1982) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Cypriot club AEK Larnaca F.C. mainly as a right midfielder.
After starting out at Atlético Madrid he went on to spend most of his professional career with Almería, appearing in 151 overall games in two spells (16 goals) whilst playing in four La Liga seasons with the club. He also competed professionally in Scotland and Cyprus.
Born in Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, Valencia, Ortiz was a graduate of Atlético Madrid's youth system, where he played five first-team games during the 2003–04 season, three as a starter.
He had previously made his debuts with the main squad in the 2001–02 campaign, appearing in one second division match as the Colchoneros were promoted, and would spend the next three years on loan, at both CA Osasuna and Polideportivo Ejido, the latter in the second level.
For 2007–08, Ortiz joined newly promoted UD Almería, where he was instrumental in helping the Andalusia side overachieve to a final eighth place in La Liga. He scored twice, including in a 4–1 away win against neighbours Sevilla FC on 19 April 2008, and continued to be regularly used in the following top flight seasons, inclusively as an attacking right back.
