Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada (21 February 1928 in Barbacena (MG) – 22 June 1982 in Belo Horizonte (MG)) was a Brazilian association football coach. He is widely credited with the invention of the 4–2–4 formation when guiding his first club, the Villa Nova AC of Nova Lima, to the State Championship of Minas Gerais in 1951. He won further state championships with Atlético Mineiro of Belo Horizonte in 1953, CR Vasco da Gama of Rio de Janeiro in 1956 and SE Gama of Brasília in 1979. Other clubs he coached include SC Corinthians Paulista, Cruzeiro EC, America FC of Rio and Athletic Bilbao in Spain. With Bangu AC of Rio he won the State Champions' Cup of 1967.
Martim Francisco, scion of a distinguished Brazilian family – his antecedents include José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva, considered the "Patriarch of Brazilian Independence," and many more lustrous personalities – studied psychology and law. An accident prevented him from playing football beyond the youth level and he never acquired a formal coaching diploma. In 1954 it was reported that he had 650 books about football, of which he considered El preparador técnico from Spain and Tácticas e técnicas from Argentina as the most important ones. In his opinion, the WM of Herbert Chapman and the third defender of Izidor Kürschner were the basis of all tactics. He considered from early on the intermingling of club officials with the work of the coach as a major problem. His bynames included primeiro lorde dos gramados brasileiros ("First Master of the Grounds of Brazil"), Professor and cientista do futebol ("Scientist of Football"). He died aged only 54 from alcohol related illness.
