† Appearances (Goals).This name uses Spanish naming customs; the first or paternal family name is Muñoz and the second or maternal family name is Mozún.Miguel Muñoz Mozún (born 19 January 1922 – died 16 July 1990 in Madrid) was a Spanish football player and manager.
A midfielder, he spent the majority of his career at Real Madrid before going on to coach the club, where he was considered one of the most successful managers in its history,[1] leading the team to two European Cup victories and nine La Liga titles (winning seven major titles in both major competitions combined as a player).
Muñoz later had a six-year coaching spell with the Spanish national team, and led it to the final of Euro 1984.

Playing career
Muñoz played for various junior teams in the Madrid area, but initially failed to attract the attention of Real. He subsequently played for CD Logroñés, Racing de Santander and Celta de Vigo. In 1948 Muñoz, together with teammate Pahiño, helped Celta finish fourth in La Liga and reach the Copa del Generalísimo final, where he scored in the 1–4 defeat to Sevilla CF.
The following season, both players signed for Real Madrid, and Muñoz went on to appear in 347 official matches with the club from the capital. Additionally, he gained seven caps for Spain, but never appeared in any major tournament.
Muñoz scored the club's first ever goal in the European Cup against Servette FC; subsequently, he captained Real in two consecutive competition wins, in 1956–57, and retired from football the following year, at nearly 36.
Coaching career
Muñoz served a brief apprenticeship as coach of Real's reserve team, then named Plus Ultra CF, before been appointed coach of the senior team in 1959. His time in charge was one of the clubs most successful eras as, under his guidance, the club won the league nine times. This included a five in a row sequence (1961–65) and another three consecutive.
On the European front, Muñoz led Real Madrid to two more wins in the European Cup, in 1960 and 1966. As a result, he became the first person to win the competition both as a player and a coach, which was later matched by Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff, Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard and Josep Guardiola. He left in 1974 after 16 seasons, as the side's longest-serving and most successful coach.
After seven more club seasons (Granada CF, Hércules CF, UD Las Palmas and Sevilla), Muñoz took the reins of the national side, after its group stage exit in the 1982 FIFA World Cup, on home soil.
Previously, he had had a four-game interim spell in the late 60's, and eventually led Spain to the UEFA Euro 1984 runner-up place, as well as the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup.
