biography

player

Before professionalism broke out, Donaldo Ross played for Uruguay Onward , Charley FC and Defensor in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo , all of which were in the top division at the time. Since about 1925 he played in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul ; first at Grêmio Santanense in Santana do Livramento , Cachoeira FC from Cachoeira do Sul and then at Grêmio Esportivo e Recreativo 14 de Julho , known since a merger in 1986 as EC Passo Fundo , in Passo Fundo . Since 1927 he played in the state capital Porto Alegre at SC Internacional , which not only won the city championship that year, but also its first national championship in Rio Grande do Sul . In 1930 he won another state championship with the provincial club EC Pelotas . In 1935 he strengthened Santiago FC in the Chilean capital , which soon mutated into the CD Santiago Morning in a merger .

Donald Ross is generally described as a half-left or center-forward who, while not particularly dangerous on goals, stood out for his excellent technique and overview of the game.

Trainer

It is reported that Donaldo Ross began his coaching career in Chile, possibly with the large CSD Colo-Colo club . There are no details on this.

At the first professional football championship of Colombia , Donaldo Ross replaced the former Argentine international Fernando Paternóster in the coaching bench of América de Cali after the fifth match day in September 1948 and led the team to fifth place until the end of the season. In 1951 he coached the Once Deportivo club in Manizales - he was to merge with Deportes Caldas to Deportivo Manizales for the 1952 season , from which the later Libertadores winner Once Caldas emerged . At the end of the season Once took a middle place. Between 1952 and 1953 he worked as a first division referee in Colombia. In 1954 he was at CD Los Millonarios from the sixth game day to the successor of the Argentine national player El Maestro Adolfo Pedernera , who had led the capital city club from 1951 to 1953 to three championships in a row and also to a cup. But the club, which was in upheaval after its golden era, was not enough to get more than midfield.

In 1956 Donaldo Ross moved to Mexico and led the Club Deportivo Guadalajara straight away to his first championship title in the 1956/57 season . He thus initiated the Época del Campeonísimo , in which Guadalajara was to win a total of seven championship titles by 1965. Ross left the club due to persistent differences with the president after the end of the first season and was replaced by the Hungarian Árpád Fekete .

From 1959 to 1960 and from 1962 to 1963 he was with Club Necaxa , with whom he won the Mexican Cup in 1960 with a dramatic 10-9 win on penalties against Tampico-Madero FC after 2-2 at the end of regular time was standing. In the meantime he spent a year with Atlético Morelia .

He later trained in 1963/64 Nacional de Guadalajara and in the 1971/72 season the newly founded Tecos de la Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara , which competed in the third division.

Donaldo Ross was a brother of Conrado Ross , who came to success as a coach in the 1920s and 1930s in Switzerland and France. Donaldo Ross died in 1972 of a heart attack he suffered in a bus on the way to training.
