Career

Club career

Aníbal Tarabini's career as an active soccer player began in 1960 at Estudiantes de La Plata in his hometown. At Estudiantes he could not really assert himself and in 1962, after only eleven league games in two years, he moved to CA Temperley , at that time in Argentina's second-highest division. Here Tarabini became a regular player and played 120 games in the league between 1962 and 1965. The striker scored sixty goals, which corresponds to an average of 0.5 goals per game. Through his services at Temperley, he aroused the interest of CA Independiente , a top club in the Primera División from the Bonaren suburb of Avellaneda . In 1966 he was finally signed by the two-time Copa Libertadores winner. By 1970 Tarabini played 163 times in the Primera División and scored 77 goals. During this time Aníbal Tarabini won the Argentine football championship twice with Independiente. In the Nacional competition in 1967 they were first with two points ahead of Estudiantes de La Plata. Three years later, in Tarabini's last Independiente season, they won the Campeonato Metropolitano with a first rank tied on points and only with the better goal difference over record champions River Plate .

1971 Aníbal Tarabini left Independiente and joined the Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires , where he played football for a year and made seventeen league appearances. In the same year he moved to Mexico to CF Torreón , to complete fifty-five league games there in three years, in which he scored twenty-three goals. In 1973 he dared to make the leap to Europe at the end of his career and played for a year in the French Division 1 at AS Monaco and occupied sixteenth place in the table with the Monegas, the relegation was only avoided because of the better goal difference. After the 1973/74 season Aníbal Tarabini ended his active career.

Aníbal Tarabini later worked for a long time as the assistant to coach José Pastoriza , with whom he once played at Independiente. On April 21, 1997, Aníbal Tarabini died in a traffic accident near the Argentine city of Berazategui in Gran Buenos Aires .
