José Macia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pepe, real name José Macia, (born February 25, 1935 in Santos) is a Brazilian former football player and manager. He was left winger for Santos F.C. and the Brazilian national team. His nickname was "Canhão da Vila" (The Vila Cannon), because of his potent kick with his left leg and the fact that Santos plays in the Estádio Urbano Caldera, nicknamed Vila Belmiro.

He received 40 caps with the Brazilian national team, and won both the 1958 and 1962 World Cups. However, he did not appear in any matches in both tournaments.

He started his manager career in 1973, coaching Santos. In the same year, he won the Campeonato Paulista.
