Biography

Vicente del Bosque González, 1st Marquess of Del Bosque (Spanish pronunciation: [biˈθente ðel ˈβoske ɣonˈθaleθ]; born 23 December 1950) is a Spanish former football manager and player. Regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time, he is to date the only football manager to have won the World Cup, the Champions League, the European Championship, and the Intercontinental Cup.

After taking over from Luis Aragonés – who had led Spain to European success at UEFA Euro 2008 – del Bosque led the national team to their first FIFA World Cup in 2010, and then to retain their European Championship in 2012. Before that, Del Bosque coached Real Madrid from 1999 to 2003, one of the most successful periods in the club's modern era. During his playing career, del Bosque made over 400 appearances for Real Madrid, winning five La Liga titles and four Copas del Rey. He played internationally with the senior Spain national team on 18 occasions.
