Antonio López Herranz

Antonio López Herranz (4 May 1913 – 29 September 1959) was a Spanish professional football striker and manager.

[1] The competition was not held from 1936 to 1939 due to the Spanish Civil War, and he played one year in Mexico with Club América during that hiatus.

In his only season, in which the Valencian Community club narrowly avoided relegation, he netted braces against Real Murcia (4–0, home)[3] and Sevilla (8–3 away loss).

[5] López Herranz was head coach of the Mexico national side in two FIFA World Cups, 1954 and 1958.

[7][8][9] López Herranz died in Los Angeles, United States on 29 September 1959, due to severe respiratory problems which even required the insertion of an artificial lung.
