Luis Cubilla
Luis Alberto Cubilla Almeida isn’t a name that rings a bell to most European football viewers, but in Uruguay, he is a household name. That is what happens when you are not only a great player, but an even better manager as well. Cubilla enjoyed a hugely successful playing career that saw him win four Uruguayan league championships, two Copa Libertadores and a Copa Intercontinental with Penarol before moving to Barcelona in 1962. His time there wasn’t as successful and he returned back to South America in 1964. And by the end of his playing career he had won 9 Uruguayan titles and a total of 16 trophies in all.
When he eventually quit playing football, he went into management and became an even more successful manager. Whilst his playing career was a success in his home country, his management career was one that was spread all over South America. But, he is best known for his time with Paraguayan side Olimpia, with whom he won eight League titles, two Copa Libertadores for a total of 15 trophies on five different tenures at the club. He won the South American coach of the year in 1990, a year which saw him do the quadruple with Olimpia. He passed away in Paraguay, earlier this year, aged 72.
