José Emilio Santamaría Iglesias (born 31 July 1929) is a retired football central defender and manager. He spent his 18-year career with Nacional and Real Madrid, winning 17 major titles the two teams combined, including four European Cups with the latter. Born in Uruguay, Santamaría represented both the Uruguayan and Spanish national teams. He later embarked in a managerial career, which included a two-year spell with the second. ==Club career== Born in Montevideo to Spanish parents, Santamaría played for local Club Nacional de Football in his country, winning five national championships during his spell. In 1957 the 28-year-old moved abroad, signing with Real Madrid where he remained until the end of his career. In his first season with the ''Merengues'', Santamaría contributed with 34 appearances the La Liga and European Cup tournaments combined, with both ending in conquest. He went on to add a further ten major trophies to his collection, being first-choice for the vast majority of his stint. Having earned the nickname 'The Wall' for his consistent defensive displays, Santamaría retired at the end of the 1965–66 campaign at the age of nearly 39, featuring twice in that year's European Cup ''en route'' to another triumph (against Feyenoord and at Kilmarnock). He played 337 official games for Real Madrid.〔(Real Madrid biography ) 〕 Santamaría was appointed at Barcelona's RCD Español in the 1971 summer, for his first club coaching experience. He led the Catalans to two top-four finishes during his six-year tenure, including a third-place in the 1972–73 season just three points behind champions Atlético Madrid,〔(José Emilio Santamaría, entrenador del Espanyol de los "cinco delfines" (José Emilio Santamaría, manager of the Espanyol of the "five dolphins") ); Vavel, 15 May 2012 〕 being sacked on 21 December 1977 following a 0–4 away loss against Racing de Santander.〔(Santamaría, cesado en el Español (Santamaría, sacked in Español) ); El País, 21 December 1977 〕 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「José Santamaría」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
