Emilio Pacheco, nicknamed "Lolo" was a Filipino international football player and coach. As a player he was part of Bohemian Sporting Club[1] and Turba Salvaje[2] , while as a coach he led the Philippines national football team.[3]
Club career
[edit]Emilio "Lolo" Pacheco settled at Bohemian S.C. in the 1920s where he played as a forward and was paired alongside teammate Virgilio Lobregat. After his stint as a Bohemian, he then joined another football club based in Manila named Turba Salvaje where he played in the 1930s.
International career
[edit]Lolo Pacheco was called up to represent the Philippines in the 1923 Far Eastern Games in Osaka where he and his teammates were involved in a brawl against China's players and part of the crowd after losing 0-2. The fight was stopped thanks to the police who managed to establish order and the two sides agreed to finish the game. It ended 0-3 but the next match against Japan, the Filipinos were able to win 2-1 and secure a silver medal.[4] Pacheco took also part in the Far East Games in 1925[1] held in Manila in which, once again, brought home a second silver medal. He missed out on the 1927 edition and the 1930 edition of the Far East Games in Tokyo were his last. Pacheco scored the two goals in the 2-7 defeat against Japan and the Philippines finished third in the tournament after also losing to China.[2]
Managerial career
[edit]Pacheco led the Philippines national football team in 1967 as its head coach at the Asian qualifiers for the men's football event of the 1968 Summer Olympics and helped the team secure a spot in the event. He was then succeeded by the Spanish coach Juan Cutillas in late 1967.[3]
