Omar Borrás , full name Omar Bienvenido Borrás Granda , (born June 15, 1929 in Montevideo ) is a former Uruguayan football coach .

Profesor Borrás - he does not have an actual academic title - initially worked as a member of the coaching staff ( preparador físico ) and assistant trainer at the beginning of his career . From 1966 Borrás was an employee of the then Uruguayan national coach Ondino Viera . At the 1966 World Cup, he worked for the Uruguayan team as an assistant coach. Finally, he also took over teams from the first division as the responsible coach. In the early 1970s, Borrás coached the Huracán Buceo club . In this first coaching position in the Primera División , he finished third with the team in 1970 and won the Copa Montevideo , which received the best-placed team after Nacional and Peñarol. In 1975 he trained the Montevideo Wanderers and qualified with them for the first time for the competition for the Copa Libertadores . With the beginning of the civil-military dictatorship that broke out in Uruguay in 1973, Borrás also made a career as an active collaborator . On June 8, 1977 he was responsible for the first time as national coach for the "Celeste" in the 2-0 defeat in the friendly against the GDR selection.

In 1982 his path led from an administrative position in the sports technology area to the coaching chair of the national team. His time as national coach was interrupted in 1983 when Borrás entrusted his former player Óscar Tabárez with the task of coaching the national team at the 1983 Pan American Games . In the same year, the national team won the Copa America 1983 again under the direction of Borrás, who was by Otero during his time as national coach . After Uruguay found its way back from the military dictatorship in 1985, Borrás was also questioned. However, he remained in office on the grounds that as long as the Celeste won, there were no arguments. Although he was met with numerous criticisms that he knew nothing about football and that he was “not a football man”, he qualified for the 1986 World Cup with the national team. During his time as national coach, for example, he did without players like those during the Mundialito convincing Hugo de León , who, however, was connected to the political left. Immediately before the 1986 World Cup , where he sat on the bench of the Uruguayan national soccer team , the former international Fernando Morena also expressed massive criticism and indirectly questioned the coach's competence. During the 1986 World Cup, Borrás was the first coach to be banned from a game at a World Cup and had to take a seat in the stands because his team had been overly tough in the game against Scotland and he had also called the referee a murderer . Furthermore, the Uruguayan national team suffered a disastrous 6-1 defeat against Denmark at this World Cup tournament under his aegis, for which he was still held responsible in the Uruguayan public years later. Finally, in 1987, Borrás was replaced in this office. He then worked as a coach for the Saudi Arabian national soccer team.
