José Carlos Bauer (21 November 1925 – 4 February 2007), commonly known as Bauer, was a Brazilian football player and manager who played as a midfielder.
Early life
[edit]Born in São Paulo, Bauer was the son of a Swiss man and an African-Brazilian woman. He was normally a defensive midfielder, Bauer was regarded as one of the finest Brazilian midfielders of his generation.[1]
Career
[edit]Bauer played for São Paulo and Botafogo. He won six São Paulo State Championship (1943, 1945, 1946, 1948, 1949 and 1953).
For the Brazil national team he played 29 matches, with five goals he won 1949 Copa América and participated at two FIFA World Cup finals, in 1950 and 1954. His last match in this tournament is famous Battle of Berne.
After he retired he managed Ferroviária de Araraquara. Curiously, in a trip of Ferroviária in Mozambique, Bauer saw a young Eusébio. Very impressed with him, Bauer indicated Eusébio to São Paulo, which denied him.[2] Then, he talked with his former coach in São Paulo, Béla Guttmann, about Eusébio. Guttmann, who was coaching Benfica at the time, brought him to the Estádio da Luz.[2]
Death
[edit]Bauer died on 4 February 2007, in São Paulo.[3]
