'''Ondino Leonel Viera Palasérez''' (10 September 1901 &ndash; 27 June 1997), in Brazil also known as ''Ondino Vieira'', was a Uruguayan [[association football|football]] manager. He was the first coach to use a 4-2-4 in Brazil. In his long-lasting career he won between the 1930s and 1960s important titles with clubs in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. With the national team of Paraguay he reached second spot at the [[Copa América]] of 1963 and at the World Cup of 1966 in England he led Uruguay into the quarterfinals.

He was the manager of the [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay national team]] during the [[1966 FIFA World Cup]].
