1982-83
(Omar da Fonseca)
From this group of 1982/83,
Safet Susic was the most successful for his longevity and influence.
The same can be said of
Omar da Fonseca and the Argentine is inextricably linked to French Football.
Dieter Muller was also
successful given the number of titles.
On a smaller scale, Toni
Kurbos was successful for mostly modest sides. Pawel Janas also stood out
playing for an improving side like Auxerre.
The Osvaldo Ardiles
situation was unique, and an anomaly and would have not happened but for world
politics.
Most of the imports that
season were unsuccessful and many of them left after one season.
The meetings were
minimal in this decade, but the first one during the 1982 World Cup in Spain
was controversial.
Spain
were awarded a penalty kick after Pericho Alonso was fouled by Zajec.
Television replays showed that the foul had actually occurred outside the box.
Ufarte
missed the penalty kick, however the referee ordered it to be retaken because
Dragan Pantelic had moved before the kick was taken.
Juanito
took the second kick and scored.
This
drew criticism from observers as proof that the authorities were favoring the
host country to advance.

The
sides met twice within weeks in 1990. The second one a World Cup match marked
Dragan Stojkovic’s double strike that eliminated Spain.

the war that split Yugoslavia, the sides were paired for the 1998 World Cup
Qualifiers. The first one in 1996 was during the first season of the Bosman
ruling. It was billed as a match that the Spanish players had to show their
worth against foreign players.
