The first successful manager with Portugal was a Brazilian, Otto Glória. After making himself known on the bench of Benfica in particular, he took the reins of the selection in 1964. In two years he won fifteen of the twenty matches in which he participated. Led by an Eusébio at their peak, the Selecção das Quinas qualified for the World Cup for the first time and finished in 3rd place in the tournament. As he leaves his post after the competition, the selection regains anonymity.
