Juan José Nogués Portalatín (28 March 1909 – 2 July 1998),[2] also known asJoan Josep Nogués, was aSpanishAragonese footballer and manager. During the 1930s and 1940s, he played as agoalkeeper forFC Barcelona, theCatalan XI andSpain. He later became manager of severalLa Liga clubs includingCF Barcelona,Gimnàstic de Tarragona andRCD Español.
He was keeper from Zaragoza C.D. (known as Tomates -named Tomatoes because of their all red uniform-, team that merged with Iberia to create R. Zaragoza in 1932). Nogués made hisLa Liga debut forFC Barcelona on 12 December 1930 in a 1–1 draw withRacing de Santander. During his playing career with the club he helped them win theCampionat de Catalunya five times. Between 1932 and 1941 he also played 10 games for theCatalan XI. On 14 February 1934 he played againstSpain atLes Corts. Spain, who were preparing for the1934 World Cup, won 2–0. Nogués was subsequently included in the Spain squad for the World Cup. He played his only game for Spain in a quarter-final replay againstItaly on 1 June 1934, replacingRicardo Zamora who had been injured in the first game.[3] After the World Cup was over,Brazil, with a team that includedLeônidas, played the Catalan XI twice before going home and Nogués played in both games. On 17 June the Catalan XI beat Brazil 2–1 atLes Corts and then on 24 June they held them to a 2–2 draw inGirona.
After retiring as a player, Nogués took over as manager atFC Barcelona during the1941–42 season. The season had seen Barça, with a team that includedDomènec Balmanya, struggle inLa Liga, narrowly avoiding being relegated after winning a play-off againstReal Murcia. Despite this however the club managed to win theCopa del Generalísimo, beatingAtlético Bilbao 4–3 after extra time. During the1942–43 season Nogués led Barça to third inLa Liga and to theCopa del Generalísimo semi-final. In the semi-final they were drawn againstReal Madrid and after winning the first-leg 3–0 atLes Corts they were controversially beaten11–1 at theCharmartín. It has been alleged that the Barça players were pressured into losing the game by supporters ofFrancoist Spain.
Nogués subsequently coachedGimnàstic de Tarragona during their seasons inLa Liga during the 1940s. In 1947 Gimnàstic also reached theCopa del Generalísimo semi-final but lost toRCD Español. In the quarter-finals they had beatenFC Barcelona. They finished their debut La Liga season,1947–48, in seventh place with the highlight coming on 11 January 1948 when they beatReal Madrid 3–1 at theBernabéu. As a result, they became the first team to beat Real at the Bernabéu and are still the only team to win there on their first visit.
