Notes

edit
  1. ^ a b Kubala, who was born in Hungary and had previously represented both Czechoslovakia and Hungary internationally as a player, adopted Spanish nationality, having fled communist rule in his homeland in 1948 and subsequently taken refuge in Spain.[1] Kubala's player Sándor Kocsis was also born in Hungary, but unlike his manager, Kocsis never changed allegiances to Spain.
