José Luis Aragonés Suárez Martínez (born July 28, 1938 in Madrid ; † February 1, 2014 ibid) was a Spanish football player and coach . From 2004 to 2008 he was the head coach of the Spanish national team.

In 2008 he led the Spaniards to the second European championship as the oldest coach of the tournament (69 years old).

Career

Aragonés spent most of his career as a player at Atlético Madrid . Most of the time Aragonés is just called Luis . He was a major player in the late 1960s and early 1970s and then coached the successful Atlético Madrid team. The team won the Primera División four times and reached the final in the 1974 European Cup against FC Bayern Munich , in which Aragonés scored 1-0 in the 114th minute, which was equalized by Georg Schwarzenbeck in the 120th minute. Atlético lost the replay 4-0. In addition, she won the World Cup in 1974 because Bayern Munich, as the winner of the European Cup, decided not to participate. In these games against Independiente Avellaneda Aragonés was already active as a coach. Between 1964 and 1975 Aragonés played 265 times for Atlético in the Spanish Primera División and scored 123 goals. With 172 goals in total, he is the club's record goal scorer, which he then trained four times.

However, Aragonés also played for other clubs, such as B. at Real Betis , he also played eleven times for the Spanish national team and scored three goals. He coached teams in the Primera División such as FC Barcelona , Sevilla FC , Valencia CF , Espanyol Barcelona , Real Betis , Real Oviedo and RCD Mallorca .

When Aragonés called the player Thierry Henry “negro de mierda” (“shitty black”) during training for a soccer World Cup qualifier in 2004 , this was interpreted as an expression of racism. Aragonés, on the other hand, said he only wanted to motivate striker José Antonio Reyes . In March 2005, the Spanish football association RFEF imposed a fine of 3,000 euros for racism with the announcement that it would take more drastic measures in the event of repetition. The Commission against Violence set up by the Spanish government had spoken out in favor of harsher punishment. However, the sentence was later overturned after an appeal.

Aragonés' involvement with the Spanish national team ended after Euro 2008 , in which his team won the title by beating Germany 1-0 in the final . With this victory, which gave Spain its second European Championship title after 1964 , Luis Aragonés became the oldest winning coach in European Championship history four weeks and one day before his 70th birthday . The previous record was only set by Otto Rehhagel at the previous tournament . The successor to Luis Aragonés as the Spanish national coach was Vicente del Bosque , who two years later also became the oldest winning coach in the history of the World Cup with the team .

Most recently Aragonés was the coach of Turkish first division club Fenerbahçe Istanbul in the 2008/09 season , but was released early in June 2009.
