Ramón Encinas Dios (born May 19, 1893 in Pontevedra , † March 21, 1967 in Madrid ), also known as Moncho Encinas , was a Spanish football player and coach .

Career

As a player

Ramón Encinas was born in 1893 to Victoriano Encinas y Reyes (* March 21, 1857, † December 29, 1896) and Isabel Dios in Pontevedra . He grew up in a family that had a great passion for football , which in those years, starting in England, enjoyed increasing popularity in Spain. Like his older brother Victoriano, who ran up in 1905 for the football club now known as FC Pontevedra after a merger , Ramón also played for this club from 1907. As a teenager, he traveled to Montevideo on one of the steamers that left Galicia for Uruguay and Argentina . There he tried to make a name for himself as a football player, although his situation was at times so precarious that he had to spend the night on park benches. Due to his talent he played for various teams in the capital of Uruguay and gained valuable experience before returning to Spain and playing for Closvin , Iriña de Vigo and Racing de Vigo . As a player from the latter club, he was nominated for the Spanish squad of the Olympic Games in 1920 , but ultimately did not take part in these.

As a trainer

Since his career as a football player did not bring the desired success, Ramón Encinas decided in 1922 to pursue a career as a football coach . From 1922 he coached three Catalan clubs with Tárrega FC , CD Reus and Palafrugell FC , before working for Sevilla FC for the first time in 1925 . Encinas returned to Galicia in 1928 and was under contract with Celta Vigo until 1931 . In the 1931/32 season he coached the first division club Deportivo Alavés . As early as 1930 he became assistant to the Spanish national coach José María Mateos , an office that he also exercised under his successor Amadeo García . With players like Luis Regueiro , Isidro Lángara , Ricardo Zamora , Jacinto Quincoces and Guillermo Gorostiza , he then took part in his position with Spain at the 1934 World Cup. For the 1933/34 season, Encinas took over Sevilla FC and immediately led the second division back to the Primera División . The 1934/35 season closed the club with fifth place in the table. In addition, the promoted team won the Spanish Cup for the first time in the club's history after victories against Madrid FC , Athletic Madrid , CA Osasuna and CE Sabadell .

When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 , Encinas returned to his home town of Pontevedra and stayed there until the end of the war.

For the season 1939/40 Encinas was coach of FC Valencia . The following year he won the cup for the second time: With a 3-1 win in the final against RCD Español , Valencia won the Copa del Generalísimo 1941 and thus the first major title in the club's history. In the 1941/42 season , Encinas led Valencia CF with 40 points from 26 games, 85 goals and a clear 7-point lead over the runner-up, Real Madrid , ultimately winning the Spanish championship for the first time. He was then signed by Real Madrid for the 1942/43 season . With the capital club, he missed his third cup triumph in the Copa del Generalísimo 1943 by a 1-0 defeat in the final against Atlético Bilbao and after two difficult early years in the 1944/45 league with one point behind the championship just barely. At the beginning of the 1945/46 season , Encinas took over FC Sevilla again. This was the last stop of his coaching career. As coach of the club from Andalusia , he won the first championship title in the club's history with players like Juan Arza in the first year. After the 1946/47 season he resigned as coach of the team, but supported his successor, Patricio Caicedo , when he led the club to victory in the 1948 Cup. From 1948 to 1958, Encinas stayed with the club as a technical secretary. In 1959 he was briefly active again as the club's coach. He then retired and spent the rest of his life in his native Pontevedra. However, due to a serious illness, he was last treated in a hospital in Madrid . He died on March 21, 1967 and was buried in Pontevedra.
