Beginnings in Uruguay and Argentina

As a player, he worked off the beaten track in the Uruguayan province. As a coach, he led the national team of the northeast Uruguayan department of Cerro Largo in 1928 . In 1930 he deepened his knowledge with a course set up by Professor Alberto Suppici , the Uruguayan world champion trainer from 1930, at the Escuela Nacional de Educación Física di Montevideo and graduated with the title “Prof. de Educación Física ”.

The Uruguay championship has been held professionally since 1932. During this time, Viera also worked for the top club Nacional Montevideo for the first time . Mainly the Hungarian Américo Szigeti was the coach of the team, which at the time was given the nickname la Maquina Blanca ("the white machine") and whose players included world stars such as the "field marshal" ( Gran Mariscal ) José Nasazzi and Héctor Scarone who were also part of the Uruguayan world championship team of 1930. Ondino Viera was involved as a coach in one of the two championships in 1933 and 1934.

In 1936 he took over the business of River Plate in Buenos Aires on the other side of the Río de la Plata . He won the championships of 1936 and 1937 with the club. Viera had great players on hand who established the club as the Millonarios . Bernabé Ferreyra , whose access River Plate was worth a world record transfer fee - which should have existed for 20 years -, Carlos Peucelle , José Manuel Moreno and Adolfo Pedernera are still illustrious names in Argentine football history.

Success in Brazil

In 1938 he moved to the Brazilian capital of the time, Rio de Janeiro, where he sat in the coaching bench of the local top club Fluminense FC until 1941 . There he replaced his compatriot Carlos Carlomagno, who was suffering from physical exhaustion, in November during the final stages of the current state championship in Rio de Janeiro , making it the third Uruguayan in a row on the Fluminense coaching bench. He led the club, without making any significant changes, to win the third title in a row. He also won the tournaments in 1940 and 1941. The tournament of 1941 was the first to take place under official FIFA rules, that is, without substitutions, without substitution of players who were sent off the field and two halves of 45 minutes each instead of the previous one 40 minutes. Incidentally, no national competitions were held in Brazil during those years. Of the 264 games under Viera, Fluminense won 158 and scored 765 times, almost three times per game.

In 1942 he became a coach at CR Vasco da Gama , which at that time was number 5 in the city behind Fluminense, Flamengo , Botafogo and América FC . Viera not only introduced the diagonal sash - inspired by River Plate - that has become typical since then on Vasco's jerseys, but also introduced tactical innovations such as the 4-2-4 system. The former boxer Mário Américo also joined Vasco da Gama in 1942 as a masseur and physical supervisor - from 1950 he was to accompany the national team over seven world championships as a physical supervisor and as a factotum himself achieve worldwide fame.

By 1945 Ondino Viera managed to put together a high-performance team that had no fear of comparison and the club won the sixth national championship in the club's history unbeaten. He laid the foundation stone of the Expresso da Vitória ("Victory Express"), as which the team from 1945 to 1952 went down in history and benefited above all from his storm series Ademir , top scorer Lelé , Isaías , Jair da Rosa Pinto and Chico on left winger. In mid-1946 after, third win in a row of the relatively insignificant city tournament Taça da Prefeitura do Distrito Federal , Viera was replaced by Ernesto Santos , who was unsuccessful. In the following years it would be the great Flávio Costa who led the club through the most successful phase in its history, who at the same time with Viera converted the World Cup system imported to Brazil by Izidor Kürschner at the end of the 1930s into a system based on an irregular diamond in midfield has transposed.

In 1947, Ondino Viera was on the bench at Botafogo and led the club to its third runner-up national championship in a row - behind Flávio Costas Vasco da Gama. Botafogo's stars that year included striker Heleno de Freitas , whom Viera originally wanted to get rid of because he did not live up to his expectations of discipline and team spirit, and Octávio . His successor Zezé Moreira finally won the long-awaited title in 1948. Viera himself coached Fluminense FC again from 1948 to 1949, with whom he won the Taça da Prefeitura in 1948 after three finals against Flavio Costas Vasco da Gama .

Viera himself followed Zezé Moreira's brother Aymoré Moreira as coach of Bangu AC in 1950 , where he stayed until the end of the 1952 national championship in January 1953. With the club from the factory district in the west of the city, he became Vice State Champion of Rio de Janeiro in 1951. In the two tough play-offs - a total of three field references - Bangu lost to Fluminense FC, where Zezé Moreira now trained. At the Torneio Rio-São Paulo Bangu achieved a remarkable 3rd place. Star at Bangu at that time were the national players Zizinho and Menezes, who together were top scorer in 1952 with 19 goals each, as well as the Argentine Rafanelli . The well-known journalist Mário Filho - after whom the Maracanã stadium is officially named - titled an article about the club with "The new greatness in Rio football". Tim , who Viera used as a youth coach in 1951, succeeded Bangu .

In March 1953 he joined the SE Palmeiras in São Paulo , where he again had Jair da Rosa Pinto as a player. After Palmeiras had a disappointing performance at the Torneio Rio-São Paulo , Viera was replaced in September during the games for the state championship in São Paulo . From May 1954 to February 1955 Viera was with Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte . He led the club in the crucial matches to the time nor as Campeonato Municipal de Belo Horizonte held Campeonato Mineiro of the year 1954. But it was his compatriot Ricardo Diéz reserved eventually four games against arch-rivals Cruzeiro , leading up to the May 1955 were enough to secure the 17th championship title for Atlético.

Return to Uruguay, national coach of Paraguay and Uruguay

He returned to Uruguay that year. With Nacional he won a hat trick with the championships of 1955, 56 and 57 until 1960 - the third in the club's history. In 1958 he was runner-up again and in June brought the Trofeo Teresa Herrera to Uruguay for the first time with a 2-1 win in La Coruña, Spain against CR Flamengo from Rio with Nacional .

In 1963 he changed countries again and was the national coach of Paraguay. At the Copa America he took second place behind the host and sensational winner Bolivia . This was followed by an engagement at Club Guaraní in the capital Asunción , with which he won the championship of 1964, the sixth in the club's history. He laid the foundation stone for the club's golden era, which lasted until 1970 and brought two further championship titles and two runners-up championships. In 1965 Viera returned to Uruguay and trained the Club Atlético Cerro in the capital Montevideo.

The following year he was coach of the Uruguayan national soccer team . As such, he made his debut in the 2-2 draw against the selection of Paraguay on May 15, 1966 as part of the Copa Artigas . He then accompanied them through the 1966 World Cup in England. At this tournament he became the first coach to send his own son - Milton Viera , who was born in Brazil - onto the field as part of a world championship . Uruguay started with a 1-4-4-1 system in which a libero acted behind a chain of four defenders . In the group stage, Uruguay succeeded in wresting a 0-0 win from eventual winners England in Wembley in the opening game - the only game that England did not win at this tournament. With a 2-1 win against France and another goalless draw, Uruguay managed to advance into the quarter-finals, where the later runner-up world champions Germany clearly won 4-0. From a Uruguayan perspective, Germany's victory was not without controversy. The 1-0 in the 12th minute was preceded by a seemingly deliberate handball by Karl-Heinz Schnellinger . Before the three other goals by the Germans, the English referee Jim Finney sent two Uruguayan players off the field between the 49th and 54th minutes. After the German referee Rudolf Kreitlein whistled controversially in another quarter-final pairing in the English win against Argentina and thus all South American teams were eliminated, some conspiracy theories arose. In 1967 Enrique Fernández succeeded Viera at Celeste .

From May to July 1967 he coached the CA Cerro from Montevideo and led the club under the name New York Skyliners with moderate success through the games of the American United Soccer Association . In the last game, the Skyliners and the Houston Stars , behind whose name the Bangu AC coached by his former student while at Fluminense Martim Francisco , who has since won three championships in Rio, split, 2-2. He then inherited Martim Francisco from the beginning of August to the end of September on the Bank of Bangu.

1969 followed an obligation in the Argentine province at the CA Colón in Santa Fé , which had risen to the first class in 1966. In 1971 and 1972 Ondino Viera still had engagements with the Uruguayan capital city clubs Liverpool Montevideo and CA Peñarol . With Liverpool he achieved third place in the championship, the best result in the club's history to date. At the Aurinegros his premiere on the coaching chair on January 28, 1972 with a 2-0 victory over the Boca Juniors in the Copa Atlántico Sur was also positive. However, he was replaced there in the current year by Néstor Goncalves , after he accepted an engagement with the Liga Deportiva Universitaria club in Quito following the Montevidean tour through Ecuador, which lasted from May to June 1972 . In December 1974 he came back to Liverpool Montevideo, which he should coach again in 1979.

From Ondino Viera the sentence "Other countries have their history, Uruguay has its football" passed down. He is listed with César Viera as co-author of the 2002 book El futbol: arte de América ("Football: the art of America").

Ondino Viera died on June 27, 1997 of heart failure. The Uruguayan Parliament paid tribute to his work.
