Player career

society

The 1.76 meter tall "Pepe" called center forward Sasía played in his childhood for the teams Aires Puros , Olimpia and briefly for Ipiriranga , all of which were based in the Montevidean Barrio Aires Puros . In 1949, at the age of 15, he joined the youth team Defensors . He made his debut that year in the local "Cuarta" and became undefeated champions with the team. At the age of 16 he made his first team debut in a game against the Rampla Juniors . Afterwards, however - according to Sasías statement due to a series of accidents - he remained without action. He then played from 1954 to 1959 in Montevideo for the Defensor in the Primera División . A station in Buenos Aires followed in 1960 . There he completed twelve games for the Boca Juniors , in which he scored three goals. 1961 to 1965 he was then in the ranks of Peñarol , which was supervised in those years by the coaches Roberto Scarone , Bela Guttman and Roque Máspoli . In 1961, 1962 and 1964 he won three national championship titles with the Aurinegros . Also in 1961, he secured his club the trophy in his time yet as Copa Campeones de América called Copa Libertadores . Sasía came into play in both finals and scored the only but ultimately decisive goal of the Montevideans in the second leg in a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras São Paulo . Another title win in 1961 is the victory in the World Cup , to which Sasía made a decisive contribution through his participation in the return and play-off against Benfica Lisbon . Not only did he initiate the defeat of the Portuguese with a penalty in the second leg, he also scored both goals in Peñarol's 2-1 win in the playoff. In the following year, Peñarol again had to take part in the finals of the Copa Campeones de América , in which the Uruguayan club this time had to hand over the trophy to the Brazilian representative FC Santos . Sasía played again in all three finals. He also participated in all three finals of the Copa Libertadores in 1965 on the Aurinegros side . However, there one finally lost to the Argentine club CA Independiente . In the game year 1965 he returned to Argentina. There he joined Rosario Central . From 1966 to 1967 he was back in the Defensors squad, followed by a position at Nacional in 1968 . In 1969 he played for Racing and in 1970 he was again part of the Defensors team, which was last coached by Alejandro Morales in that season . He was only just able to avoid relegation to the "B" with his teammates in the relegation round.

National team

Sasía was also a member of the senior national team of Uruguay , for which he completed 42 international matches between June 24, 1956 and July 19, 1966. He scored twelve international goals. Other sources credit him with 44 international appearances. 1957 already part of the squad at the 1957 South American Championships , he took part with the Celeste also in 1959 in Argentina in the first of two South American championships that year. The second Campeonato Sudamericano , which was held in Ecuador a few months later , he also experienced as a member of the Uruguayan squad and thus became South American champion. He also participated in the 1962 World Cup on the Uruguayan side. There he was used in all three group games in Uruguay and scored two goals. As part of the squad at the World Cup four years later , he was involved in the two group games against Mexico and France in the advance of the Uruguayans to the quarter-finals and the failure there against the German team .

Coaching

1971 Sasía took his first job as a trainer with the Rampla Juniors . The following year he was a coach at Racing . In this position he then worked for three years in Venezuela at Deportivo Galicia . His next coaching station was from 1976 the Club Atlético Cerro in Uruguay, where Alejandro Garay and Ruben Pico Umpiérrez were among his players. Around the middle of the year he switched to Aucas as a coach in Ecuador , but only stayed there for a short time. In 1976 he took over the coaching position at Liverpool Montevideo . In the same year he also coached the Venezuelan club Estudiantes de Mérida , where the club's team qualified for the Copa Libertadores for the first time in club history under his aegis . However, this contradicts the fact that it is also reported that he worked for Liverpool until 1977.

In the 1979/80 season he was responsible as a coach at the Greek club Aris Saloniki . During the season he was replaced there by Frank Blangstown . At least since January 1981 he was in charge of both the Paraguayan national team and the Paraguayan club Olimpia from the capital Asunción . In 1981 he was once again led as a trainer at Aris Saloniki in the coaching team with assistant coach Carlos María Ravel . There are also reports of coaching engagements in Mexico and Colombia .

Private

Sasía, which, in contrast to this consistently used spelling, was recorded in its own identity card in the spelling Sacía , came from a family of Basque origin who immigrated to Uruguay at the beginning of the 20th century. He was the eldest son and the sixth of nine children of his parents Delfín Sasía and María Lugo and the cousin of the musician Waldemar Sasías . His father Delfino, a businessman and hairdresser by profession, was an active member of the Partido Nacional . In 1940 his family moved from Treinta y Tres to Montevideo and settled there in the Barrio Aires Puros . José Sasía began his school education first in the "Escuela de Burgues" and changed from the fourth to the sixth grade to the German school in Montevideo. He broke off the subsequent Liceo visit after a short time.

José Sasía himself was the father of two children: his son Daniel and Marta, who was around four years younger. He finally died of a heart attack at the age of 62 in Montevideo. Later not only his grandson Leandro Cabrera Sasía , the son of his daughter, also followed in Sasía's footsteps, becoming a professional footballer and as such was under contract with Atlético Madrid , among others . His grandson Rodrigo Cabrera Sasía also played in Uruguayan professional football for Defensor.

Others

The singer Jaime Roos composed the song "Al Pepe Sasia" in honor of Sasía. At least for the first division season 2011/12, the Premio José Sasía named after him was awarded for the best player of the season in the Uruguayan Primera División. The award went to Nicolás Olivera .
