Coaching career

After hanging up his boots, he started as a coach at Agrupación Deportiva Plus Ultra , Real Madrid's second team, before moving to Real Madrid's first team in the same role just a year later. Under his leadership, the club dominated Spanish and international football for a long time. Among other things, he was able to win the Spanish championship nine times and the European Champions Cup two more times (making him the first to succeed as a player and coach). One of his toughest decisions was certainly the retirement of the Real legend Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1964. As a result, however, Muñoz made it out of a young squad of Spanish footballers, including names like Pirri , Amancio , Manuel Sanchís , Zoco or Velázquez , as well as the the only star Paco Gento left over from the glory days to form a competitive team. In 1966, under the nickname "El Madrid ye-yé" " , this was again able to raise the European Cup. In 1974 he left the club after 14 years as a coach of the first team. He then coached the Spanish clubs Granada FC , Hércules Alicante , UD Las Palmas and Sevilla FC before moving to the Spanish national team in 1982 . With this he reached the final of the European Football Championship in 1984 , where they were defeated 2-0 against Platinis French. In 1988 he ended his career as a coach after the European Championships in Germany .
