Who else could it be?
For a club that’s so trigger happy with their managers, it takes a special person to last 14 years and 16 seasons in charge. Miguel Munoz is that special person.
The Spaniard was already a Madrid legend even before he occupied the dugout. As a player, he won 4 La Liga titles, 3 European Cups and 2 Copa Latina trophies. Munoz briefly took charge for a 2-month spell in 1959, before being appointed full-time on 13th April 1960.
Less than 30 days later, Munoz was in charge for one of the greatest matches to be ever played, as Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the 1960 European Cup final. It began a staggering spell of success for Real Madrid, who began a 5-year streak of winning La Liga, from 1960/61 to 1964/65. Munoz managed to refresh an ageing squad of a 40-year-old Puskas with the likes Pirri, Gento and Amancio, lifting his second European Cup in 1966.
In his 5078 days in charge of Real Madrid, Munoz oversaw 604 games, winning 357 of those at a win rate of 59.10%. 1225 goals were scored by Munoz’ teams, with the Spaniard ending his career with a staggering 9 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey trophies, 1 Intercontinental Cup and 2 European Cups.
There will never be another like him.
