Jesús María Pereda Ruiz de Temiño (15 June 1938 – 27 September 2011), also known asChus Pereda, was a Spanishfootballmidfielder and manager.
In a 16-year professional career, he played mainly forBarcelona, amassingLa Liga totals of 197 matches and 55 goals for four teams – includingReal Madrid. In1964 he helpedSpain win theEuropean Championship, being an international throughout the decade.
After retiring, Pereda was in charge of severalSpain youth teams, including theunder-20 and theunder-21 teams.
Although born inMedina de Pomar,Province of Burgos,Castile and León, Pereda was raised inBalmaseda inBiscay,[1] and, as a schoolboy, he captained the provincial U-16 team. He began his senior career withBilbao clubSD Indautxu, where his teammates included veterangoalkeeperRaimundo Lezama andMiguel Jones – Pereda and Jones, and later a third player,José Eulogio Gárate, were all controversially rejected byAthletic Bilbao because of their birthplaces,[2] with Pereda moving toReal Madrid and the others toAtlético Madrid.
With theMerengues, Pereda only appeared in twoLa Liga games, scoring once in a 3–0 home win againstReal Zaragoza as the teamwon the national championship. During his spell in theSpanish capital, he was also loaned toReal Valladolid inSegunda División – after falling out with coachLuis Carniglia[1]– returning to the top flight withSevilla FC and netting 11 goals inhis first season.[3]
Pereda joinedFC Barcelona in summer 1961, going on to appear in 293 competitive matches during eight years (104 goals).[1] During that time he won theCopa del Generalísimo twice, scoring the opening goal in the 1963 final, a 3–1 victory over Zaragoza at theCamp Nou.[4]
Aged 31, Pereda left Barcelona and joinedCatalonia neighboursCE Sabadell FC, appearing rarely during thetop flight season. He closed out his career after two second level campaigns withRCD Mallorca.
In1995–96, Pereda had his first and only head coaching experience at club level, leadingXerez CD to the 11th position inSegunda División B.[1]
Pereda scored six goals in 15 appearances forSpain, during eight years. His debut was on 15 May 1960 in a 3–0friendly win withEngland, at theSantiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Two of Pereda's international goals came at the1964 European Nations' Cup, in which he appeared alongside Barcelona teammateJosep Maria Fusté. He scored in both the semi-final againstHungary andthe final against theSoviet Union, as the national team won the tournament on home soil; in the decisive match he alsoassistedMarcelino in the 2–1 winner, althoughNo-Donewsreels showedAmancio as the author of the pass.[5]
During 15 years, Pereda managed both theSpain under-20 andunder-21 teams, leading the former to the second place in the1985 FIFA World Championship in theSoviet Union. In 1988, he was in charge of theCastile and León autonomous side for one game, a 1–1 draw withAragon.[1] Four years later, he replacedVicente Miera at the helm of theSpain senior team for one match – he worked in his coaching staff as assistant – due to illness.[6]
Pereda died inBarcelona on 27 September 2011 at the age of 73, from cancer.[3]
