History
Alberto Suppici and the first World Cup Alberto Suppici was Uruguay’s head coach at the inaugural FIFA World Cup, staged in Montevideo in July 1930. With José Nasazzi as captain, his team won each of its four fixtures: 1–0 against Peru, 4–0 against Romania, 6–1 against Yugoslavia and 4–2 against Argentina in the final. Historical significance The championship made Suppici the first coach to win the men’s FIFA World Cup. His role is recorded in FIFA and Uruguayan Football Association tournament summaries. A complete account of his coaching methods and career outside 1930 should be developed using dedicated historical sources rather than inferred from the tournament results.
