Jacinto Francisco Fernández de Quincoces y López de Arbina (17 July 1905 – 10 May 1997) was a Spanishfootball player and manager, as well as President of theValencian Pilota Federation. He was acentral defender and is regarded as one of the greatest defenders of the inter-war era.
He played 25 matches for theSpain national football team from 1928 to 1936.[1] He was part of Spain's team at the1928 Summer Olympics,[2] and was part of Spain's1934 FIFA World Cup team. He was Spain's national coach in 1945, taking charge for two matches.[3]
His brother Juan had a short career with Alavés, during which the siblings were teammates.[4] His nephewJuan Carlos Díaz Quincoces was also a professional footballer and a Spanish international, usually referred to as 'Quincoces' in recognition of his famous relative (conventionally the paternal surname Díaz would have been used). They worked together at Valencia as coach and player in two spells.[5]
Since Quincoces was aBasque pelotapala player before becoming a football professional, when his career finished, he was chosen by the Francoist authorities as President of theValencian Pilota Federation, believing that Basque and Valencianhandball sports were the same. Quincoces declared to the press several times that he was unwilling to undertake this task, but while he was in charge (late 1960s and early 70s) he promoted new measures that resulted in profit forValencian pilota, such as the beginning of the Youth Championships, compulsory for thetrinquets that wanted to host professional tournaments, this was the waypilotaris such asGenovés I andXatet de Carlet began.
