Juan Carlos Valerón Santana (born June 17, 1975 in Arguineguin, Gran Canaria) is a Spanish football (soccer) midfielder, who currently plays for Deportivo de La Coruña.
Valeron is an exemplary player noted for his outstanding character and Born Again Christian beliefs, and alongside players like Raúl González have been touted as role models for younger Spanish players to emulate in terms of temperament and the right dose of passion.
Valerón, together with other Christian football players Cláudio Taffarel, Lúcio, Zé Roberto and Lee Young-Pyo, have been united in promoting goodwill in football as a testament to their faiths.
Previously, Valerón played for UD Las Palmas (1995-97), RCD Mallorca (1997-98), and Atlético Madrid (1998-2000). He played for Spain at Euro 2000, the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004.
