Héctor Pedro Scarone (born November 26, 1898 in Montevideo , † April 4, 1967 ibid) was a Uruguayan football player and coach . With Uruguay he won two Olympic golds between 1917 and 1930, the world championship and four times the South American championship . With his parent club Nacional, for which he was active between 1917 and 1939, he won numerous national championships. In the meantime he also played for FC Barcelona and Ambrosiana , now Inter Milan , and Palermo FCB .

career

Héctor Scarone, younger brother of Carlos "Rasqueta" Scarones , who is described as an agile, fast and two-footed player, whose advantages lay in dribbling and the precision of the final strength, was especially known as a free kick and penalty kick specialist. Despite his relatively small height, the headball game was not one of his weaknesses. His creative way of playing earned him the nickname El Mago (in German: The Magician).

Scarone was one of the most important football players in his country and was one of the world's best during his playing days, in many cases even the world's best player. It is reported that Héctor Scarone made his debut in the Nacional fighting team at the age of 17 and won the national championship with the club that same year, at one time an amateur competition.

Most of his club career he played for the same club, where he made his debut in the first team in 1917. In 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1934 he and his club won the national championship eight times, the Copa de Honor in 1917 and the Copa Río de La Plata in 1919 and 1920 .

Nacional in April 1925 in Genoa

In 1925 and 1926 there were no championships in Uruguay due to disputes over the organization of football. Nacional took the opportunity to go on an extensive European tour. Between March and August 1925, Scarone traveled with his club to nine different countries. In 38 games - including against the Spanish cup winners FC Barcelona, ​​the Italian champions Genoa CFC , Sporting Lisbon , Rapid Vienna and Sparta Prague , but also numerous less important opponents - Nacional won 26 times and lost only five games with a goal difference of 130:30 . Scarone is listed as a goalscorer 29 times. It is reported that a total of 700,000 people attended the Nacionals Games - in Vienna, the delegation was even received by Federal President Michael Hainisch . Partly at the same time and in the same countries, the Brazilian CA Paulistano and star player Arthur Friedenreich were another top South American club on a European trip.

In the six games in Barcelona - in addition to FC, CE Europe and the Catalan selection were opponents - he impressed and FC Barcelona signed him thereupon. In 1926 Scarone appeared in nine FC Barcelona friendlies, in which he scored six goals. Games in competitive games were denied to him because he was not allowed to play as a foreigner. Overall, his time with the Catalans is not considered particularly happy and there are reports that he was said to have been cut by his teammates as they did not want to be overshadowed by him.

Scarone returned to Nacional. After the championship was resumed in 1927, the club was fourth. Another trip abroad took Scarone with the team in the same year to North America, Mexico, Cuba and the Antilles . Again, Scarone was the Bolsos' most successful goalscorer . During FC Barcelona’s trip to South America in 1929, there was a reunion with numerous former teammates when Nacional defeated the tourists 3-0 in September.

In the 1931/32 season Scarone played for AS Ambrosiana , today's Inter . He made his debut with the Milanese in September 1931 in a 3-1 defeat at AS Casale and scored his first goal for the club there. by the end of the season scored seven goals in 14 games this season. He spent the seasons from 1932 to 1934 at the Sicilian club Palermo FBC , where he scored 13 goals in 54 league games. At the beginning of the 1934/35 season he appeared again for Ambrosiana.

He then returned to Nacional, the club for which he played a total of 369 games and scored 301 goals. He is the player who has been active for Nacional for the longest time. He is also the third most successful goalscorer in the top division of Uruguay with 163 league goals scored.

After his return from Europe, he joined the Montevideo Wanderers , for which he was active between 1937 and 1938, as evidenced by the club's website.

National team

South American champions 1917 Uruguay: Back: J. Pacheco, J. Vanzzino, C. Saporiti, G. Rodríguez, M. Varela and A. Foglino. front: J. Perez, H. Scarone , A. Romano, C. Scarone and P. Somma

Scarone scored 31 goals for the Uruguayan national team between 1917 and 1930, a record that was only surpassed in 2011 by Diego Forlán . The record of five goals in an international match, which he set up on October 28, 1926 in the game against Bolivia, still exists. The number of international matches played by Scarone in this period is, however, a matter of dispute.

While the Uruguayan daily La República in 2011 in a statistical list of the most successful goalscorers of the Celeste assumes 51 international matches for Uruguay , the RSSSF has 52 games in its statistics as completed official internationals from September 2, 1917 to July 30, 1930 . The 70 missions at 52 goals for his home country stated on the website of his association Nacional (which runs its own library and the Jesús Arrieta Fontana archive together with a staff) are probably due to the inclusion of unofficial encounters in this list.

With the national team he won the Copa America four times , in 1924 and 1928 he won the gold medal with the team at the Olympic Games. In the decisive second final game of the 1928 Olympic tournament, he scored the decisive goal with a forceful shot from more than twenty meters away, which was celebrated by the sports press as the most beautiful goal of the tournament.

In 1930 he won the first world championship in history with Uruguay with a 4-2 final victory over Argentina in the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo . Then he ended his career in the national team.

Trainer

From 1946 to 1947 he was a coach in Colombia's capital Bogotá with the Millonarios .

In March 1952 he took over the position of coach at Real Madrid , at that time tenth in the Spanish league. In the very first game he lost 4-0 to Atlético Madrid, trained by the Argentine Helenio Herrera and ultimately champion of the year . Real was ninth at the end of the season. His engagement in Madrid ended after the 1951/52 season, in which he led Real to third place.

In 1954 he was together with Héctor Romero coach at Nacional.

At the beginning of the 1960s he was the coach of Deportivo Quito in Ecuador . With the club he won the regional "Interand Championship" ( Campeonato Profesional Interandino ) in 1963 , but his great success as a coach was also denied here - Deportivo only won the first national championship title in 1964 after Scarone's departure.
