Miguel Muñoz Mozún (b.
Madrid,
Spain,
January 19 1922, d.
Madrid,
Spain,
July 16 1990 ) was a Spanish footballer and manager. Muñoz spent the majority of his career at
Real Madrid where he's still the club's longest serving and most successful coach to date. In September 1955, Muñoz, a midfielder, scored the club's first ever goal in the
European Cup against
Servette FC. He subsequently captained Real as they won the
European Cup in 1956 and 1957. Muñoz also went onto coach Real as they won the
European Cup in 1960 and 1966. As a result he became the first person to win the competition both as a player and a coach. This feat was later emulated by
Giovanni Trapattoni,
Johan Cruyff,
Carlo Ancelotti and
Frank Rijkaard.
Playing career
Muñoz played for various junior teams in the
Madrid area including
Escolapios,
Buenavista,
Pavon,
Imperio FC and
Girod but initially failed to attract the attention of Real. He subsequently played for
CD Logroñés (1943-44),
Racing de Santander (1944-46) and
Celta Vigo (1946-48). In 1948 Muñoz, together with
Pahiño, helped Celta finish fourth in
La Liga and reach the
Copa del Generalísimo final. He also scored in the 4-1 defeat to
Sevilla CF in the Copa final. The following season, along with Pahiño, he signed for
Real Madrid. Between 1948 and 1958 he played 347 games for Real. He also played 7 times for
Spain.
Coach
Muñoz served a brief apprenticeship as coach of the Real reserve team,
Plus Ultra CF, before been appointed coach of the senior
Real Madrid team in 1959. His time in charge was one of the clubs most successful eras. Under Muñoz
Real Madrid dominated
La Liga, winning the competition 9 times. This included a five in a row sequence (1961-1965) and a three in row sequence (1967-69). He later managed several other
La Liga teams including
Granada CF (1975-76),
Hércules CF (1976-77),
UD Las Palmas (1977-79) and
Sevilla FC (1979-82). He was also manager of
Spain on two occasions. In 1969 he acted as caretaker manager for 4 games and between 1982 and 1988 he was in charge for another 59. He guided
Spain to the final of the
Euro 1984 and to quarter finals of the
1986 World Cup
