Juan Peregrino Anselmo (30 April 1902 – 27 October 1975) was a Uruguayan footballer who played as a striker for Uruguay national team. He was a member of national team which won 1930 FIFA World Cup. He scored three goals in the tournament, including two in the semi-finals.[1] He was the first false 9 in a World Cup. He was part of the squad which won gold medal at the 1928 Summer Olympics, but did not play in any games.[2] He was a player[3] and later coach of C.A. Peñarol. As coach, succeeding mid-1962 the Hungarian Béla Guttmann in office, he led the club to the Uruguayan championship of the same year. In the later part of 1963 the Uruguayan goalkeeper Roque Maspoli succeeded him.
