Jacinto Quincoces (born July 17, 1905 in Barakaldo , † May 10, 1997 in Valencia , full name Jacinto Francisco Fernández de Quincoces y López de Arbina ) was a Spanish football player and coach . In 1945 he was the coach of the Spanish national team.

career

Jacinto Quincoces began his career in his native Barakaldo , in the Basque province of Bizkaia , in small clubs like Desierto de Baracaldo or Barakaldo CF . In 1920 he finally moved to Deportivo Alavés with whom he rose in 1930 to the first division of the league founded in 1928. He then moved to Real Madrid ( actually Madrid CF during the Second Spanish Republic ) with his central defense partner Ciriaco Errasti . There, the two Basques, together with goalkeeper legend Ricardo Zamora, formed the best defensive line of the time. The trio was a decisive factor in winning two championship titles (1931/32, 1932/33) and as many cup wins (1934, 1936). The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) interrupted Real Madrid's run of success abruptly, in hard-fought Madrid sporting competition was out of the question, and at the end of the armed conflict only four players were left in the squad. With the exception of the Mexican José Ramón Sauto and Antonio Bonet , Simón Lecue and Jacinto Quincoces himself, all had disappeared, resigned or fallen in exile. Quincoces remained loyal to the club despite his old age and played for Real Madrid for three more years during this difficult time before he announced his resignation.

National team

Jacinto Quincoces took part with the Spanish national team in the 1928 Olympic Games , which ended in sixth place, and the 1934 World Cup in Italy . Here the Spaniards met hosts Italy after a sensational 3-1 victory over Brazil . The game was particularly dramatic, because after it had stood 1: 1 after 90 minutes, extra time was due. The Spanish goalkeeper Ricardo Zamora stood out in particular . There was also a shot from the post by Spaniard Lángara (113th) and a crossbar hit by Italian Giuseppe Meazza in the 119th minute of the game. Since the penalty shootout wasn't introduced until 1970, there was a replay. There was a real scandal. Due to the rigors of the previous game, the Italians put in four new people and the Spaniards seven, including the Spanish goalkeeper Zamora. In the 1-0 win for the Italians, the Spanish substitute goalkeeper was clearly hindered by several Italians, while Meazza even leaned on him to get the header. Despite major protests from the Spaniards, the hit was given. In the following years, the Italians were only noticed by nasty fouls, which were punished by the referee in the rarest of cases. The Spaniards had three injured players towards the end of the game - substitutions were not allowed. In the course of the game, the Spaniards were denied two penalties, and even two regular goals in the second half. At the final whistle, the Italian fans cheered the Spaniards more than their own team. The Swiss referee Mercet was later suspended from his association for life. Jacinto Quincoces was considered one of the strongest central defenders on the continent after a very strong World Cup alongside his club colleagues Ciriaco and Zamora .

Another great success with the national team was achieved by Quincoces on May 15, 1929, when Spain became the first team from outside the British Isles to defeat the English national team . Spain won an international match in Madrid 4-3, establishing a rivalry that continues to this day.

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Jacinto Quincoces moved to the coaching bench. Overall, he brought it to 313 games in this position, including 188 in Valencia . With Valencia he reached two runners-up titles, but the only major successes as a coach came with two cup wins in 1946 and 1954 with Real Madrid and Valencia CF.
