Arthur "Artur" John was an English football manager who managed Vitória de Setúbal, Benfica and Sporting CP in Portugal. He was an unusual manager because he acted as a massage therapist and massaged his players when they approached the bench for instructions. He was convinced that the player-manager role should not exist, saying, "You either coach or play". ==Career== Born in England, John career as manager started in Vitória de Setúbal, managing them for six seasons, winning two Campeonato de Lisboa, two newly created Campeonato de Setúbal and finish runners-up in the 1926-27 Campeonato de Portugal. That success led him to bigger clubs, so in 1929, John became the first foreign manager of Benfica. In his two seasons he spent there, John led the club to their first national title, winning the Campeonato de Portugal against Barreirense on 1 June 1930, putting an end to a 10-year title drought He successfully defend this conquest in the following year, beating Porto by three-nill on 28 June 1931. John was then signed by Sporting CP, which offered him 16 contos to move. He did not have as much success there, and was replaced in May 1933 by Rudolf Jeny.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.forumscp.com/wiki/index.php?title=Artur_John )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur John」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
