Template:Short description Template:Family name hatnote Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography
Enrique Pérez Díaz (28 December 1938 – 10 February 2021), known as Pachín, was a Spanish football defender and manager.
Club career
Born in Torrelavega, Cantabria, Pachín signed with Real Madrid in 1959 from Segunda División club CA Osasuna.[1] He made his La Liga debut on 11 September 1960 in a 1–0 away loss against Atlético Madrid, then proceeded to be a starter in that and the following four seasons.
Pachín left the Merengues in May 1968, having appeared in 218 competitive games and scored two goals.[2] He won 11 major titles during his spell, including seven national championships and the 1960 and 1966 editions of the European Cup, contributing to the latter conquests with eight appearances and a total of 32 during his career.[3]
Aged nearly 30, Pachín returned to division two for the 1968–69 campaign, where he represented Real Betis. He retired in 1971 after a stint with amateurs Club Deportivo Toluca, then worked as a manager for 16 years, never in higher than the second tier – his biggest achievement was to promote Hércules CF to the top flight in 1984, even though he was only in charge for six matches.[4][1]
International career
Pachín won eight caps for the Spain national team, in three years.[1] His first came on 15 May 1960 in a 3–0 friendly win over England,[5] and he was selected for the squad that competed at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, appearing against Mexico and Brazil in an eventual group stage exit.[4]
Death
Pachín died on 10 February 2021 in Madrid, aged 82.[6][7]
