Oswaldo Rolla (15 September 1909 – 27 October 1996), also known as Foguinho, was a Brazilian footballer and manager, who played as a midfielder.

Player career

[edit]

Oswaldo Rolla, also known as Foguinho due to his red hair, began his career at EC São José. In 1928, he was loaned to Grêmio, and participated in the first game in which the club wore the current tricolor shirt with vertical stripes. He had a career with 227 appearances for the club and scored 116 goals.[1] He also practiced rowing, a sport that was widespread in Brazil in the first decades of the 20th century, and as a player he stood out precisely for his physical imposition, a mark that gave the identity of football in Rio Grande do Sul to this day.[2][3]

Managerial career

[edit]

Rolla was Grêmio's coach and football director on some occasions, but he definitely began his career as a full-time coach in 1953, at EC Cruzeiro. He quickly returned to Grêmio, where he made 383 appearances as manager. In 1960, with a Gaúcho representation, he was the coach of the Brazilian team in the 1960 Panamerican Championship. He also had remarkable spells at EC Pelotas and SC Internacional in 1968, his last club.[4][5]
