Santiago Bernabéu Yeste Sports manager
Santiago Bernabéu de Yeste (Spanish pronunciation: [sanˈtjaɣo βernaˈβeu ˈʝeste]; 8 June 1895 – 2 June 1978) was a sportsman, one of the most important men in Real Madrid's history. He is generally considered the one to whom much of the credit can be given for transforming Real Madrid from the second most successful club in Madrid into the top in Spain, and most successful in Europe. The team's current stadium is named in his honour. He was the club's President for 35 years, between September 1943 and June 1978.
