In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Villalonga and the second or maternal family name is Llorente.
José "Pepe" Villalonga Llorente (12 December 1919 – 7 August 1973) was a Spanish football manager during the 1950s and 1960s. He coached Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and the Spain national team, winning major trophies with all three.
Villalonga took Spain to a less successful 1966 World Cup in England. Two consecutive defeats to Germany and Argentina after a 2–1 win over Switzerland left Spain and Villalonga to an early return home. The loss to Germany was his last of 22 games in charge of Spain.
Villalonga devoted his time to teaching at the technical level. In 1967, he was appointed director of the National Coaches School, a position he held until his death in 1973, and was the first Teacher of Football in the INEF Madrid.[citation needed]
He died in Madrid, as a result of a myocardial infarction on 7 August 1973, at the age of 53.
