Juan de Dios Ibarra Corral (born 17 February 1979) is a Mexican former professionalfootballer who played as agoalkeeper.
Juan de Dios is also brother ofPierre Ibarra player ofNecaxa.
Ibarra began his career atCF Monterrey, where after spending several years in the youth squads, made his debut at the professional level on February 10, 2002, in a game againstCelaya. In his first full game, Ibarra made a favorable impression by shutting outChivas by a score of 3–0. His initial success prompted then-coach,José Treviño, to name him the starter. Ibarra responded by allowing 21 goals in 12 games. However, the following season he would be benched, only seeing action in two games. The next season, Ibarra filled in for starting goalkeeperRicardo Martínez in 11 games, while Martínez recovered from an injury. Juan de Dios stepped up to the challenge and allowed only 14 goals in that span. However, when Martínez returned, Ibarra was relegated to the bench and watched from the sidelines as Monterrey won the championship that very season, under Argentine coachDaniel Passarella.
After two more years of scattered play atCF Monterrey, he was transferred toAmérica before the start of the Apertura 2005 season, where he was placed as second on the depth chart, behindGuillermo Ochoa. His only start that season came against his former team, in a game where he allowed all four goals in a 4–1 loss.
He returned to his first teamCF Monterrey on December 21, 2007, but only played for their Primera A filial team. Ibarra later went on to play forAlacranes de Durango in 2008. For the start of the Clausura 2009 tourney, he was transferred toJaibos Tampico Madero.
Ibarra was transferred yet again for the Apertura 2009 season, this time toLobos BUAP.
