Pirri is a Spanish former footballer and a historic Real Madrid Club de Fútbol player. A distinguished midfielder who also played as a libero, he spent almost his entire career with the Madrid club, of which he is its ninth-highest goalscorer and has the most appearances. At the time of his retirement he was the club’s fourth all-time top scorer and the second player with the most appearances for the club.

He was the first player to receive the club’s “Laureada” from the then-president of Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu, awarded for the events surrounding the 1968 final of the Copa del Generalísimo. Pirri played the match with a high fever from typhoid manifested the night before, and during the match there was also a fracture of the clavicle in the tenth minute. Under such conditions he endured the final, for which the president awarded him this distinction.

He holds a medical doctorate and was part of the club’s medical staff in the 1980s and 1990s, later becoming its technical secretary, and finally sporting director until the year 2000. Married to Spanish actress Sonia Bruno, his son Daniel, better known as Dani Pirri, was the club’s physiotherapist.

He is currently the Honorary President of Real Madrid.
