Player career

society

Hohberg began his career in 1941 as a goalkeeper for Argentino de Rosario in his native Argentina. In 1945 he joined the Club Atlético Central Córdoba . He was then used as a field player and there in the position of the striker . 25 games and 17 goals have been recorded for Hohberg at this club in the Argentine Segunda División. The following year he moved to Rosario Central , where a total of 17 goals in 34 first division appearances for Hohberg are recorded in the seasons 1946 to 1948. In 1948 he moved to the neighboring country of Uruguay to the top club Peñarol , for whom he played until 1960. There he acquired Uruguayan citizenship in 1954. Hohberg was involved in a total of seven title wins in the Uruguayan national championship (1949, 1951, 1953, 1954, 1958, 1959 and 1960) and in the last year of his club membership, he and his teammates also won the Copa Libertadores , which at the time was still known as the Copa Campeones de América , in the trophy cabinet of the Add club. The subsequent first playout of the World Cup , however, was lost to Real Madrid . In 1951 and 1953 he was the top scorer in the Primera División with 17 goals each . In the meantime, he tried to play for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal in 1958 , but this failed due to the foreigner quota in the competition there. On his return from Portugal, the plane he was using , a DC-6 , was involved in an aircraft accident when it crashed into the sea near Ilha Grande . Hohberg lost his belongings in the process, but survived. In 1960 he then moved to local rivals Racing , for which he completed six games and scored three goals. In 1961 he still played at Cúcuta Deportivo . There he met 19 times in 37 league encounters. A station at Atlético Nacional in Medellín , which is not specified in more detail, is also cited for him.

National team

Hohberg completed eight international matches for Uruguay from his debut on April 10, 1954 to his last appearance on May 2, 1959. He hit the opposing goal three times. He took part in the 1954 World Cup. In the semi-final game against the favorites from Hungary, Hohberg scored two goals and forced the Hungarians into extra time. In this, the Hungarians managed two more goals to make it 4-2.

Coaching career

On June 8, 1969, he made his debut in a 2-1 win in a friendly against England as national coach of Uruguay. From then on, he looked after the Celeste in the four World Cup qualifiers that were held until the end of August that year. Then he sat at the 1970 World Cup as well as at least from February 1977 as part of the World Cup qualification for the 1978 tournament as a coach on the bench of the Uruguayan Celeste . However, after a draw with Venezuela and a defeat against Bolivia, he was replaced by Raúl Bentancor in March 1977 .

In 1971, after the resignation of Roque Máspolis in the middle of the season, he was responsible for the Peñarols team, where he was preferred to Osvaldo Zubeldía , who was initially traded as a successor and was successful at Estudiantes de La Plata . However, he was replaced by Ondino Viera at the Aurinegros in early 1972 . In 1974 he was in charge of Universitario de Deportes and won the Peruvian championship. He was able to repeat this success in 1977 and 1978 with Alianza Lima . He also coached the Ecuadorian national soccer team in 1981 and 1982 .
