President of the FPV[]
Since Quincoces was a Basque pelota pala player before becoming a football professional, when his career finished, he was chosen by the Francoist authorities as President of the Valencian Pilota Federation, believing that Basque and Valencian handball sports were the same. Quincoces declared to the press several times that he was unwilling to undertake this task, but while he was in charge (late 1960s and early 70s) he promoted new measures that resulted in profit for Valencian pilota, such as the beginning of the Youth Championships, compulsory for the trinquets that wanted to host professional tournaments, this was the way pilotaris such as Genovés I and began.
