Juan Peregrino Anselmo (30 April 1902 – 27 October 1975) was a striker for Uruguay who was a member of the champion squad at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, as he scored 3 goals in the tournament, including 2 in the semi-finals.[2] He also won the gold medal with Uruguay at the 1928 Summer Olympics. He was a player[3] and later coach of C.A. Peñarol. As coach, succeeding mid-1962 the Hungarian Béla Guttmann in office, he led the club to the Uruguayan championship of the same year. In the later part of 1963 the Uruguayan goalkeeper Roque Maspoli succeeded him.
