His uncle, Jacinto Quincoces, was also a professional footballer, a Spanish international, and a prominent coach. Juan Carlos was often referred to by his maternal surname - 'Quincoces II' - to distinguish him from his famous uncle, although the conventional practice would have been to use his paternal surname, Díaz. They worked together at Valencia as coach and player in two spells.[4]
