Marcelo Daniel Gallardo (born January 18, 1976 in Merlo (Buenos Aires) , Argentina ) is an Argentine former football player (attacking midfield) and today's coach.

Player career

society

Gallardo went through River Plate's youth division before making his first-team debut in 1992 at the age of 16. He quickly developed into a regular player and top performer of the team with whom he won the Apertura three times (1993, 94, 96), once the Clausura (1997) and the Copa Libertadores (1996).

In 1999 he moved to Europe , to the top French club AS Monaco . He played a strong first season (28 games, 8 goals) and together with Ludovic Giuly formed one of the strongest midfield duos in Ligue 1 . The season was crowned with the championship title and winning the Supercup ( Trophée des Champions ) in the summer of 2000. Gallardo also received the Étoile d'Or as the most consistent player in the French league .

With the new coach Didier Deschamps , Gallardo's star began to decline when he found himself on the bench more and more often and could no longer build on his performance. In 2003 he returned to Argentina disappointed.

At River Plate his performances improved again and in 2004 they won the Clausura again. In January 2007 he took up the challenge of playing abroad again and signed a two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

In January 2008 he moved to Major League Soccer for DC United , in early 2009 he returned to River Plate and stayed there until 2010. He then moved to Nacional Montevideo, before ending his playing career there in 2011.

National team

From 1994 to 2002 Gallardo was the Argentine international. He won the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and took part in the 1998 World Cup in France and in 2002 in Japan / South Korea . In 43 games he scored 14 goals.

Coaching career

After finishing his playing career, Gallardo is now working as a coach. From June 2011 he coached Nacional Montevideo and won the Uruguayan championship title of the 2011/12 season with the Bolsos. In July 2012 he left the club. Since June 2014 he has been a coach at River Plate in Buenos Aires .
