Patricio Caicedo Liciaga (born February 6, 1899 in Bilbao , † September 8, 1981 in Barcelona ) was a Spanish football player and coach .

Career

As a player

Patricio Caicedo started his career with Athletic Bilbao , the largest club in his Basque hometown. In 1918 he moved to Catalonia to RCD Español and played there until 1926. In 1924 Caicedo also played for the Catalan football team . In the same year he also took part in the 1924 Olympic Games with Spain . However, it was not used in the course of the tournament.

As a trainer

Without having achieved great success or fame as a football player, Caicedo decided in 1929 to pursue a career as a football coach . So he first trained the third division CD Logroño for a year before he took over his old club, the first division Espanyol Barcelona , for the 1930/31 season . After the relegation battle against city rivals CD Europa was narrowly won at the end of the season and held ninth or penultimate in class, Caicedo continued to develop the team in the following two years, whereupon Espanyol was sixth in 1931/32 and third in 1932/33 has been. In 1933 he also won the first title of his career, the Campionat de Catalunya . Then Caicedo was signed for the 1933/34 season by his hometown club Athletic Bilbao , which had established itself under Fred Pentland between 1930 and 1933 with two championship titles and four cup wins as one of the most successful clubs in Spain. In fact, Caicedo managed to lead the previous year's second in its premiere year to win the championship with two points ahead of Madrid FC . In the 1934/35 season , however, disillusionment quickly set in. In the league it was only enough for Bilbao to place fourth, in the cup the club failed in the round of 16 against eventual champions Betis Sevilla . For the 1935/36 season Caicedo therefore returned to Espanyol Barcelona and finished the season as seventh in the table.

Because of the Spanish Civil War , no championship was held between 1936 and 1939. When the game was resumed in 1939/40 , Caicedo continued his work at Espanyol. At the end of the season, he won the Campionat de Catalunya for the second time with the Catalans and the Spanish Cup for the first time by beating Madrid FC in the final of the Copa del Generalísimo in 1940 for the first time . In the league, the club was fifth. While in the Copa del Generalísimo 1941 the title defense of the cup was missed by a 1: 3 final defeat against Valencia CF, Caicedo's team in the league was ultimately closer to relegation than the championship in the following years. At the end of the 1942/43 season , Espanyol even had to be relegated. Although relegation could be prevented by a 2-1 win in the playoff against Sporting Gijón , Caicedo left the club in 1943 and took over the first division relegated Real Saragossa , with whom he did not get beyond midfield in the Segunda División in the following two years. The same applied to his next engagement with the second division RCD Mallorca . In 1947 Caicedo briefly took over the third division Real Murcia before returning to the Primera División after four years and succeeding Ramón Encinas at Sevilla FC . Caicedo immediately repaid the trust of the Andalusians by leading the club to fifth place in the table in 1947/48 and the third cup victory in the club's history. Seville finished eighth in 1948/49 . Then Caicedo took over Espanyol Barcelona again for the 1949/50 season . After a disappointing eleventh place in the league, however, he only stayed a year to then train second division again with Real Oviedo and UD Las Palmas . For the 1954/55 season Caicedo was obliged by the first division promoted Hércules Alicante , with whom he surprisingly came sixth at the end of the season. In the following season , however, he was released early after only one win and five defeats before the seventh match day. Regardless, Hércules rose at the end of the season as bottom of the table back from the Segunda División.

In the 1958/59 season Caicedo coached the amateur club CE Manresa . He then ended his 30-year career as a football coach, during which he worked for eleven different clubs and won the Spanish championship once, the Spanish Cup twice and the Catalan regional championship twice.
