By far the most successful manager of all time in Real Madrid's illustrious history. Munoz was the true definition of a one-club man, spending majority of his playing career as a midfielder for Real Madrid, scoring the club's first ever goal in the European Cup (now Champions League) and captaining it to the first two of its five consecutive triumphs in the early years of the tournament.

He was appointed the full time manager on 13 April 1960 and took just a little over a month to make his mark in the tournament he dominated as a player, guiding Real to its fifth consecutive triumph when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt by 7-3 at Hampden Park in what many believe to be the most complete performance by a club in a European Cup final.

This victory made him have the unique distinction of being the first man to win the tournament both as a player and a coach (a feat he now shares with seven other legends).

Munoz spent a total of 16 years as the manager at the Bernabeu which yielded 14 trophies.
