Juan Manuel Falcón Jiménez (born 24 February 1989) is a Venezuelan retired professional footballer who played as a striker.
His first steps in professional football were in Portuguesa FC, where he started playing as a midfielder. Later on, he passed over several field positions until reaching the forward spot.[1]
Falcón scored his first professional goal in a Copa Venezuela match against Zamora FC, which eventually would be his last destination in the local league after a small period in Trujillanos FC.
With Zamora, he won the league two consecutive seasons and he became the top goalscorer in the league with 19 goals.
In mid 2014, he signed a three-year contract with French team FC Metz, in a transfer reported to be around €800,000.[2] He left the club in 2016.
After two years without a club, Falcón confirmed on 17 January 2020, that he had retired at the age of 30 due to a knee injury.[3]
He made his debut on 23 March 2008, as a substitute against El Salvador.
