After four runner-ups in a row (1935 to 1938), in which the Club Nacional de Football always had to leave the championship title to its arch-rival Peñarol , trained by Athuel Velázquez , Nacional finally managed to win again in 1939 under the leadership of William Reaside. The Scottish coach had put together a strong team that managed a 3-2 win over Peñarol in the championship final. Immediately after winning the title, Reaside returned to Scotland , so that his previous assistant coach Héctor Castro was able to reap the fruits of his work and, as the new head coach, led the team to four more championship titles in a row. In the history of the Nacionalistas , these five years (1939 to 1943) are referred to as "El quinquenio de oro" ( German: "The golden five years ").
Before the 1945/46 season, Reaside received a contract with the Mexican club Asturias , which he coached over a period of three years and revolutionized football in Mexico through his defensive tactics introduced there . When Reaside returned to his homeland in 1948, Fernando Marcos was his successor with the Asturianos .
Two years later, the CD Guadalajara signed him , whose football team he coached in the 1950/51 season. Health problems forced him to resign. His successor at Guadalajara was the Argentine José María Casullo .
