Juan Pablo Buch Pabón (born 21 November 1986) is a Colombian football manager, currently in charge of Ecuadorian side Delfín.
Buch worked as a fitness coach for Universitario Popayán,[3] Deportes Quindío[4][5] and Alianza Petrolera back in his home country,[6] before joining Cheche Hernández's staff at Ecuadorian side Técnico Universitario in 2019.[7]
In August 2022, after manager Iván Vázquez was sacked, Buch was named interim manager of the first team.[8][9] After taking over the club in the last position, he led the side to an impressive run of six wins and two draws in ten matches, and managed to avoid relegation.[10]
On 25 October 2022, Buch was confirmed as manager of Técnico for the 2023 season, after renewing his contract.[11] On 19 December 2023, after qualifying the club for the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, he renewed his link for a further year,[12] but left on a mutual agreement the following 19 March.[13]
On 9 May 2024, Buch replaced sacked Guillermo Duró at the helm of Delfín also in the Ecuadorian top tier.[14]
