Ramón de Quintana Dalmau (born 6 February 1972) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.
Club career
Born in Girona, Catalonia, de Quintana made his professional debuts with UE Figueres in his native region, playing in two Segunda División seasons. In his second year, he suffered the first of a national record eight relegations. In the 1993–94 campaign he made his La Liga debuts with CA Osasuna, but appeared rarely as the Navarrese also dropped down a division.
Subsequently, de Quintana moved to Madrid's Rayo Vallecano in the second level, earning promotion in his first season but being relegated in his third. With his following club, CP Mérida, he would suffer two relegations in three years, although the last one was due to financial irregularities, as the Extremadura side had finished in sixth position in division two.
In the 2000 summer de Quintana returned to Rayo, helping the club reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup in his debut season – after the team had been granted a spot in the European competition via the Fair Play ranking – but suffered another relegation in 2002–03, after which he left the side at the age of 31.
De Quintana's last team was Cádiz CF, where he played for five years, winning the second division in 2005 but being immediately relegated back. After only appearing in nine league games in the 2007–08 campaign, with the Andalusians dropping to Segunda División B, he retired from football at the age of 36, amassing totals of 458 matches and 14 goals in 17 professional seasons (204/6 in the top flight alone).
International career
De Quintana represented Spain at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship in Portugal, playing all the matches and minutes in an eventual quarterfinal exit.
