Wilson Francisco Alves - usually just called Wilson for short - (born December 21, 1927 in Rio de Janeiro , † July 12, 1998 in São Paulo ) was a Brazilian football player and coach. The defender had his greatest successes in the 1940s and 1950s with his time as Expresso da Vitória its heyday continuous CR Vasco da Gama . With the national team he won the South American Championship. A highlight of his coaching years was winning the Paraná national championship .

Life

Wilson started playing football at the age of 16 with the local club EC São José in Rio de Janeiro. From 1943 to 1952 he played for CR Vasco da Gama with whom he won the state championship of Rio de Janeiro five times . The highlight of his time at the club was probably the victory at the Campeonato Sudamericano de Campeones of 1948 in Santiago de Chile , the official forerunner of today's Copa Libertadores . From the decisive game against the Argentine champions CA River Plate it is reported that he “perfectly covered” the rising star Alfredo Di Stéfano . Other important players of the Vascos team, which was called Expresso da Vitória ("Siegese Express") and was originally coached by Ondino Viera and from 1947 by Flávio Costa , included captain Augusto , goalkeeper Moacyr Barbosa and striker Jair da Rosa Pinto , Ademir de Menezes and Chico .

Wilson was also part of the tribe of the Brazilian national team that won the 1949 South American Football Championship . His five games in this tournament remained his only international matches.

Wilson ended his playing career until 1957 with Portuguesa in São Paulo and FC Santos , with whom he won the São Paulo state championship in 1955 and 1956 . Then began Wilson, who often - according to Morro do Capão - in Rio, where he was born Capão was called, a career as a coach.

In 1966 and 1967 he led Portuguesa through the games of Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa , the forerunner of today's national championship . Between 1977 and 1982 he accompanied Grêmio Maringá , the EC Comercial from Campo Grande ( MS ) and the América FC from São José do Rio Preto (SP) through the national championship.

But mostly he was active in small and medium-sized cities with similar associations. In 1961 he led the club A Prudentina EA from Presidente Prudente for the first time in the first division of São Paulo. With Grêmio Maringá, he won the Paraná national championship in 1977 by winning the finals over the traditional club Coritiba FC . With EC São Bento from Sorocaba (SP) he won the hinterland championship ( Campeonato do Interior ) of the state of São Paulo in 1964 and 1965. In 1981 he defeated the national team of Saudi Arabia 1-0 with the club . In addition, he coached numerous other clubs in the so-called hinterland. The specialist magazine Placar described him in an article dedicated to him in 1975 as the highest paid coach in the hinterland, as a coach who placed more value on friendship among the players than on "complicated tactics".

Wilson Francisco Alves, the Capão , passed away on July 12, 1998 at the age of 70 - the same day Brazil lost the 1998 World Cup final in France.
