José Francisco Molina Jiménez (born August 8, 1970 in Valencia) is a Spanish football goalkeeper. He is known for staying calm even when making his trademark dashes off his line.
He made his Spanish national team debut as an outfield player against Norway in April 1996 -- a substitute's cameo as a left winger. He was then included in the squads for Euro 96 and the 1998 FIFA World Cup but had to wait until the Euro 2000 for first-choice status -- although he was dropped after the opening loss to Norway and did not play in the ensuing final tournaments.
His club career is related with Atlético Madrid, where he won La Liga and Copa del Rey, and Deportivo La Coruna where he won Copa Del Rey and Spanish supercup in 2002. Molina signed for Levante at the beginning of the season 2006-07.
