Juan Castaño Quirós (born 10 April 1971 in Gijón, Asturias), known as Juanele, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward.
Skilled Juanele started playing professionally for Sporting de Gijón, making his first-team – and La Liga – debuts at the age of 20 and finishing his first season with his hometown club with three goals in 24 games. He became an undisputed starter in the following years.
In June 1994, Juanele signed a five-year contract with CD Tenerife, being an essential offensive unit as the Canary Islands side reached the semi-finals in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup, scoring twice against S.S. Lazio (5–3 home win, 5–4 on aggregate) and at Feyenoord (4–2 win, 4–2 on aggregate). In addition, he netted 15 league goals in 60 matches as they achieved back-to-back top-ten finishes, which included the fifth place in 1996 that led to the European exploits.
After Tenerife's 1999 relegation, Juanele joined Real Zaragoza, helping the Aragonese to two Copa del Rey trophies in the early 2000s, even though he was already a fringe player in the second conquest. Amassing top division totals of 346 games and 61 goals, he left in 2004 to Terrassa FC in the second division, joining lowly Real Avilés Industrial after one season.
