In the 1960s, he was chosen by the Francoist authorities to be the president of the Valencian Pilota Federation, as they believed that Basque and Valencian handball sports were the same. Even though he told the press he did not want to do be president, he would promote new measures that helped Valencian pilota, like making Youth Championships mandatory for the trinquets that wanted to host professional tournaments.

His brother, Juan, was a footballer and was Jancinto's teammate at Alavés.^[4] His nephew, Juan Carlos Díaz Quincoces was also a professional footballer, who played for Spain.^[5]
