from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francisco Reboredo Mosquera (born September 3, 1914 in Buenos Aires , † January 22, 1973 ) was a Spanish football player and coach.

Between 1936 and 1939 Reboredo, who was born in Argentina but grew up in Spain, played as a midfielder and defender at FC Porto with who won the league championship in 1937 under coach József Szabó and in 1939 under coach Miguel Siska the newly introduced first division championship of Portugal (→ Portuguese football champions ) . He was considered one of the pillars of the team. For the 1939/40 season he joined the Spanish second division club Deportivo La Coruña , with whom he rose in 1941. In 1945 he descended with La Coruña, but succeeded in the immediate resurgence. After the 1946/47 season he ended his playing career.

He then returned to FC Porto as a coach. He was mostly involved in the youth sector, but was in charge of the combat team at short notice as early as the 1949/50 season. In January 1962 he replaced the Hungarian coach György "Jorge" Orth, who died in the middle of the season, and led the first team to the runner-up. In addition to captain Virgílio Marques and Hernâni Ferreira da Silva , the Brazilian top scorer Azumir was one of the better-known players on that team.

Then trained in 1962/63 and 1963/64 until the 15th matchday Vitória Setúbal , which took places in the midfield of the league at that time. On March 8, 1964, the Brazilian Gentil Cardoso was dismissed at Sporting Lisbon and Reboredo then formed a coaching duo with Anselmo Fernandez , the latter formally headed. The highlight of the time here was winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963/64 after results of 3: 3 and 1: 0 in the finals against MTK Budapest . On the way to the final beat Sporting almost ten days after the inauguration of Reboredo and Anselmo Manchester United to Bobby Charlton and George Best in the home stadium Alvalade with 5: 0 and a 1 took 4-residue from the first leg on.

His brother Manuel Reboredo played in the 1942/43 season for Celta Vigo in the Spanish first division and later for Deportivo La Coruña .
