Juan Carlos Roldán (born 9 August 1963) is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of Central Córdoba's reserve team.

Playing career

Born in Santiago del Estero, Roldán began his career with hometown side Central Córdoba, before being sold to Newell's Old Boys and sent out on loan to Mexican club Irapuato. Upon returning, he started to feature more regularly, winning the 1990–91 Argentine Primera División title with the club.[1]

Roldán subsequently represented Banfield, Quilmes, Douglas Haig and Cipolletti before returning to his first club Central in 1998. He retired in the following year, aged 35.[2]

Managerial career

Roldán began his managerial career with lowly side Central Argentino, shortly after retiring.[1] He would later manage his former side Central Córdoba on several occasions, mostly as an interim,[3] before being definitely appointed manager of the club on 17 October 2013, replacing Salvador Ragusa.[4]

Roldán was removed from the manager role on 30 May 2014, after the club were seeking a "more experienced" manager.[5] In December 2022, he was named in charge of Central's reserve team.[6]

On 9 April 2024, Roldán was appointed interim manager of Central until the end of the 2024 Copa de la Liga Profesional.[7]
