Miguel Muñoz Mozún (19 January 1922 – 16 July 1990) 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 is widely considered one of the most successful and greatest managers in football history, 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 Spain national team, and led them to the final of Euro 1984.
