Player career

society

Bentancor, maternal grandfather of the Uruguayan national player Alejandro Lembo , began his career as a player with Danubio in 1947. There he was initially used in the reserve team ( Reserva ), but made his debut at the end of that year in the first team, which at the time was in the B , the Started second division. Thus, he belonged to the team that in 1947 for the first time in the club's history rose to the top Uruguayan league, the Primera División . In the following years he was a successful goalscorer of the club and celebrated the Uruguayan runner-up championship with Danubio in 1954. After a decade and more than 280 completed games for this club, he joined the Montevideo Wanderers in 1958 . The following year he moved to Brazil for the Sport Clube Recife , for which he played until 1964. There he rose to become an idol when he and his teammates won the Campeonato Pernambucano in 1961 and 1962 and the Torneo Norte-Nordeste in 1962 . In the period 1959 to 1963 he scored a total of 40 goals as part of the Campeonato Pernambucano. In addition, there were five goals in Taça Brasil in 1959 and 45 personal goalscores in friendly games and tournaments during his time with the Brazilian club.

National team

For the soccer world championship in 1950 he was considered in a preselection, but ultimately there was no nomination by the national coach for the tournament. However, he was part of the Celeste squad at the Campeonato Sudamericano in 1953 and was used there three times.

Coaching career

After his active career, Bentancor was coached at Esporte Clube in 1965 , where he was in charge until 1970. From 1971 to 1972, 1975 to 1976 and again in 1979 he coached the Danubio FC team . There are also reports on engagements with Bella Vista , the Wanderers and Nacional, which in any case occurred after his first Danubio station. Between 1977 and 1979 he worked as the Uruguayan national coach. He also led the junior national team of his home country during this time. In addition to winning the U-20 South American Championship in Venezuela in 1977 and Uruguay in 1979, he was also responsible for fourth place at the 1977 U-20 World Cup in Tunisia and third place at the 1979 U-20 World Cup in Japan . In 1981 he looked after the U-19s again. Also in 1981 and again in 1985 he was again coach of Danubio FC. In 1987 he was the coach of Deportivo Saprissa .
