Luis Suárez Miramontes (2 May 1935 – 9 July 2023[1][2]), commonly known as Luis Suárez, was a former Spanish football player and manager. He is considered both one of the best Spanish footballers of all time,[3][4] and one of the best midfielders of all time.[3][5][6] He was the first Spanish player to win the Ballon d'Or in 1960.[4][7][nb 1] He also helped Spain win their first European Championship title in 1964.[8]
After retiring, he became a manager. He was the manager of Inter Milan three times, including once as an interim manager,[9] as well as Cagliari, Como, and Deportivo La Coruña. He also managed Spain at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.[4][9] He died in Milan on 9 July 2023, at the age of 88.[1][9]
Club career
[change | change source]Early life and Deportivo La Coruña
[change | change source]Suárez was born on 2 May 1935, in A Coruña, Galicia.[10] He had two older brothers, José and Agustín, who also both played football.[11] He grew up in the barrio of Monte Alto, where his family owned a butcher shop.[12][13]
Suárez joined Deportivo La Coruña in 1949, at the age of 14.[11][14] He was promoted to Deportivo's first team for the 1953–54 La Liga season,[11][14] and made his debut for Deportivo on 6 December 1953, in a 6–1 loss against Barcelona.[12][14] He played 17 games for Deportivo in his only season there, and scored three goals.[12][14]
Barcelona
[change | change source]In March 1954, Suárez joined Barcelona, along with team-mate Dagoberto Moll.[14][15] The transfer fee was reported to be 600,000 pesetas.[16] He made his Barcelona debut in the 1954 Copa del Generalísimo on 2 May 1954, which was his 19th birthday,[17] in a 4–0 win against Deportivo La Coruña.[11] He played in most of the matches in the tournament, as Barcelona eventually lost to Valencia in the final.[11][18] He didn't play many matches during the 1954–55 season under manager Sandro Puppo.[13][11][19] Instead, he played for Barcelona's reserve team, España Industrial, in the second division.[11]
Throughout the next few seasons, he began to establish himself as a regular starter.[11] However, some of his coaches considered him "too frail" physically,[19] with manager Ferenc Plattkó notably forcing him to do an extra work-out on a punching bag in order to increase his muscle mass.[11][20]
After Helenio Herrera was hired as Barcelona's manager at the start of the 1958–59 season,[11] Suárez was moved to the left inside forward position,[9][13][21] where he became one of the most important players in the team.[11][21] Suárez would win two doubles with Barcelona under Herrera, winning the league and cup in the 1958–59 season,[11][21] and the league and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in the 1959–60 season.[22][23] However, during this time, Suárez's relationship with Barcelona fans began to deteriorate, due to a perceived rivalry between him and László Kubala.[13][19] This caused him to start getting booed by his own fans in every game he played.[20][24]
On 9 November 1960, he scored the 1000th goal in European Cup history, in a 2–2 draw against El Clásico rivals Real Madrid. In December 1960, Suárez won the Ballon d'Or, which was awarded by French magazine France Football,[25][26] with a total of 54 votes.[11][27] This meant he became the first Spanish-born footballer to ever win the award,[4][22][nb 1] until Alexia Putellas won the women's award in 2021 and 2022, and later Rodri winning the men's award in 2024. Suárez would receive the Ballon d'Or on 9 March 1961,[28] a few minutes before the start of a European Cup match against Spartak Hradec Králové.[25]
Suárez's last match for Barcelona was the 1961 European Cup final against Benfica[11][23][24], where they would lose 3–2.[29] In total, Suárez played 253 matches for Barcelona across seven seasons, scoring 141 goals.[17][22]
Inter Milan
[change | change source]
On 26 May 1961, five days before the European Cup final,[29] Barcelona and Italian club Inter Milan reached an agreement for the transfer of Suárez. The transfer fee was 25 million Spanish pesetas,[19][23] which was around £152,000.[30][31] This transfer made Suárez the most expensive footballer in the world,[22][31] passing the record of Omar Sívori's transfer from River Plate to Juventus in 1957.[31] This transfer meant he was also the first Spanish footballer to play in Serie A,[32][33] along with Juan Santisteban.[32] This transfer has been considered one of the most controversial decisions in Barcelona's history.[7][19]
He made his debut for Inter Milan and scored his first goal on 27 August 1961, in a 6–0 win against Atalanta.[34] He ended up finishing second in the 1961 Ballon d'Or, only finishing behind Omar Sívori.[35][36]
At the start of the 1962–63 season, manager Herrera moved Suárez to a deep-lying playmaker role.[11][9] This change helped him become a key player of the Grande Inter team of the 1960s, which was known for their counter-attacking style of play.[9][37][13] On 10 March 1963, he scored a hat-trick in a 6–0 win against Genoa. This made him the first Spanish footballer to score a hat-trick in Serie A, and the only one to do it until Suso scored a hat-trick against Frosinone in 2016.[38] At the end of the 1962–63 season, Suárez won his first league title with Inter Milan.[30][39]
In the 1963–64 season, Inter Milan lost the Serie A title to Bologna in a final tie-breaker.[40] Despite this, Suárez helped the Nerazzurri win the European Cup that season.[11][41] In the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund, he would cause controversy when he violently kicked an opposing player and injured him, and referee Branko Tesanić decided against sending Suárez off.[30] He would later play in the final, where they beat Real Madrid 3–1 in Vienna.[30][21][42]
In September 1964, helped Inter Milan win the 1964 Intercontinental Cup, with a 1–0 win after extra time against Independiente in the play-off match.[43][44] In December, he finished second in the 1964 Ballon d'Or, behind winner Denis Law.[28][45] Suárez would publicly express his disappointment over this result multiple times during his life.[7][28][13] He would help Inter Milan win the 1964–65 Serie A title,[30][46] and the 1964–65 European Cup against Benfica.[30][47]
On 25 August 1965, Suárez took part in an exhibition match against his former club Barcelona at the Camp Nou.[28] In the 38th minute of the match,[11] he unexpectedly left the pitch, having received boos from Barcelona fans since the start of the match. As he left, he made a bras d'honneur gesture towards the Barcelona fans before reaching the exit,[28][48] which he would eventually come to regret throughout the years.[20] In September of that year, he would help Inter Milan beat Independiente to win their second Intercontinental Cup in a row.[49][50] In December, he finished third in the 1965 Ballon d'Or, behind team-mate Giacinto Facchetti and winner Eusébio.[36][51] Throughout the 1965–66 season, Suárez scored five goals[52] as Inter Milan won their second league title in a row.[30][52] He would also help them reach the 1965–66 European Cup semi-finals, where they lost to eventual winners Real Madrid.[53]
In May 1967, Suárez missed the European Cup final due to an injury, which Inter Milan would lose 2–1 against Celtic.[54][55] Inter Milan would also lose the 1966–67 Serie A to Juventus on the last day of the season,[56][57] and be eliminated by Padova in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.[58]
During his last season at Inter Milan, he was played as a sweeper.[30] This caused his performances to decline, as he scored only one goal in Serie A. In total, Suárez played 333 matches for Inter Milan across nine seasons, scoring 55 goals.[9]
Sampdoria and retirement
[change | change source]In July 1970, Suárez was signed by fellow Serie A club Sampdoria.[30][59] The transfer was a swap deal that saw Mario Frustalupi join Inter.[59] He played three seasons with Sampdoria,[11][9] and scored 13 goals in 73 games,[60] before retiring from professional football in 1973, at the age of 38.[8][28]
International career
[change | change source]
Suárez earned 32 caps for Spain.[1][4] He made his debut on 30 January 1957 in a 5–1 victory over the Netherlands.[17] He played for Spain at the 1962 and 1966 FIFA World Cups, and at the 1964 European Championships, which Spain won.[1][4]
He played his final game for Spain in 1972, in a draw against Greece.[13][17]
Managerial career
[change | change source]Suárez managed Inter Milan on two times, during the 1974–75 and 1991–92 seasons.[9] He also managed three games for them during the 1995–96 season as an interim manager[9], before they signed Roy Hodgson. He also had brief spells as the manager of Cagliari, SPAL and Como in Italy, and Deportivo La Coruña and Albacete in Spain.
Spain
[change | change source]In 1981, the Royal Spanish Football Federation appointed him as manager of Spain's under-21 national team. With them, Suárez won the 1986 UEFA European Under-21 Championship,[7][28] [61] and reached the final of the 1984 edition.
In 1988, he was appointed the manager of Spain's national team,[62] and managed them at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where they got eliminated in the round of 16.[4][9] On 29 April 1991, he was dismissed from the Spanish national team after struggling in UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying, and was replaced by Vicente Miera.[63]
Personal life and death
[change | change source]Suárez married his first wife, Nieves, in 1967,[64] and had two children with her. His younger son was born with congenital cleft palate, and died in 1977, aged seven.[65] Following a divorce, he married his second wife, Valentina (died 2020).[66]
In the early 2000s, he began to work as a guest pundit for sports programmes broadcasted on Italian and Spanish television networks.[9][67] In 2014, he joined Cadena SER's radio programme Carrusel Deportivo,[68][69] where he mainly worked as a commentator and analyst for Barcelona's matches.[11][68]
On 20 November 2001, Suárez was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Order of Sporting Merit by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport for his sporting merits.[28][70]
In July 2015, Suárez donated his Ballon d'Or trophy to the FC Barcelona Museum, as part of the museum's 30th anniversary.[19][71]
Death
[change | change source]Suárez died on 9 July 2023, at the age of 88.[4][9][8] The news was confirmed by former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti, who revealed that Suárez had been hospitalized at the Ospedale Niguarda in Milan several days before his death.[9][72]
A public funeral was held for Suárez on 11 July, at the Saint Joseph Calasanz Church in Milan. The service was attended by football fans[66][73] and representatives from Barcelona (vice-president Rafa Yuste and Juan Manuel Asensi),[66] Inter Milan (Gianfranco Bedin, Massimo Moratti, and Giuseppe Marotta)[73] and Real Madrid (Emilio Butragueño).[66][73] Deportivo La Coruña, Real Madrid, and the Royal Spanish Football Federation all reportedly sent flower garlands to pay homage to Suárez.[66][73]

Subject that does belong on Wikipedia (Spanish footballer from the 1950s/60s, who won a Ballon d'Or).- I feel like the idea of comprehensive is subjective, so I'm going to leave this one blank for you guys to decide.
I'm seeing 9.8KB on my end, which I'd say fits the definition of "several kilobytes"
Although not by different editors, has gone through several revisions, with some feedback made by fr33kman (any changes done prior to October 1st was made in this sandbox).
The article is in the appropriate categories, with (as of October 6, 2025) 36 interwiki links.- No change wars, and the article is stable. As for big changes, I'll leave for you guys to decide (I'm not sure the exact ruling on what is classified as "many" or "big" in this context)
There are still red links in the article, but I've been working on creating them.
Images on the article are all related and properly labelled.
No improvement templates on the article.
Everything (at least to my knowledge) is properly referenced.
