Felipe Mesones Temperán (9 February 1936 – 15 December 2017) was an Argentine football right winger and coach.

Playing career

Born in Buenos Aires, Mesones spent the vast majority of his career in Spain, representing Real Murcia, Levante UD, CE L'Hospitalet and CE Europa, with all clubs competing in the Segunda División. In his native country he appeared for Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo de Almagro and Club Atlético Atlanta, and also had a stint at Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia.

Mesones retired at the end of the 1966–67 season while in service of Catalonia-based Europa, eventually amassing totals of 124 games and 16 goals in the second division.

Coaching career

As a manager, Mesones worked in the Spanish La Liga for nine campaigns, adding another 15 in the second tier.[1][2][3] On 27 April 1980, whilst at the helm of UD Salamanca, he was involved in a match fixing incident also involving Málaga CF which resulted in a two-year ban for himself and opposing players Raúl Castronovo and Julio Orozco.[4][5]

In late January 2000, training with his club Granada CF, the 64-year-old Mesones suffered a heart attack and was admitted to intensive care unit.[6] His last spell consisted of nine games with Cartagonova FC, in Segunda División B.

Death

Mesones died on 15 December 2017 at the age of 81 in Murcia, after a long battle with illness.[7]
