Ezequiel Montero RománШаблон:Family name footnote (22 February 1893 – 17 April 1972) was a Spanish footballer, referee and manager in Spain at the beginning of the 20th century.[1][2] As a player, he helped the Madrid national team win two Prince of Asturias Cups in 1917 and 1918. As a coach, he managed the Spain national team in four games between 1926 and 1927.
Playing career
He was born at the beginning of 1893 in Madrid, a city in which he would develop an extensive career linked to football. In the 1910s, he played as a midfielder for Racing de Madrid, with whom he won the 1914–15 Centro Championship together with Joaquín Pascual, Ricardo Álvarez and Feliciano Rey.[3] Since he was a Racing de Madrid player, he was eligible to play for the Madrid national team, for whom he played several matches between 1915 and 1918, being a member of the side that participated in the first edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup in 1915, an official inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[4] Montero was also a member of the Madrid team captained by José María Castell, which against all odds, claimed the trophy in the 1917 Prince of Asturias Cup, which was the first in Madrid's history.[5][6]
Refereeing career
Montero began his refereeing career when he was still an active player, which was normal at the time. In 1915, after satisfactory examinations, he joined the Board of the College of Referees of the Center, the first College of Referees in Spain, roughly at the same time as the likes of Carlos Dieste and of then-teammate at Racing, Antonio Pelous.[7] According to posting practice, he also performed regular service as a coastal judge.
As a referee, he oversaw matches of the Central Championship, and even of the Copa del Rey. He was a referee in the first-ever Spanish league in 1929, refereeing 22 matches in the Primera División (1929–1942).[8] In total, he oversaw more than 100 matches between the Regional, First and Second Division, in a career that lasted more than 30 years (1915–1947).[1]
Together with Eulogio Aranguren and Enrique Peris, he holds the peculiar distinction of having participated in the Prince of Asturias Cup as both a player and referee, given that Montero refereed one match in the competition, a semi-final between Galicia and Andalusia in the 1922–23 edition, ending in a 4–1 win to the Galicians.[9]
At the request of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), he acted as a referee in the 1922 Campeonato de Portugal, which was the 1st edition of the Portuguese domestic cup. This match was a derby between Sporting CP and FC Porto, ending in a 2–0 win to the "Lions".[10]
Coaching career
Between 1926 and 1927 Montero was the manager of the Spain national team, leading the nation in four games that ended in three wins and one loss.[11]
