Summary

[edit]

Aimed with the goals of Gunnar Nordahl[2] and the arrival of Uruguayan Juan Alberto Schiaffino[3] from Peñarol, the team clinched its fifth domestic title ever. Manager Béla Guttman was fired in February replaced by Uruguayan Ettore Puricelli in a move to boost the players moral being crucial to win the championship.
