Carlos Bianchi (born April 26, 1949 in Buenos Aires ) is a current Argentine soccer coach and former soccer player .

Soccer player

The son of a kiosk owner family in the Villa Real district , he made his debut in 1967 in the first team of Vélez Sársfield in a game against the Boca Juniors. His first goal for the club from the Liniers district he scored on July 7, 1968 on the occasion of a league game at the Argentinos Juniors . In the same year he won the national championship with Vélez. He scored a total of 121 goals in 165 games (equivalent to 0.73 goals per game). He was even more efficient in France's top division with 179 goals in 220 games (0.81).

In 1973 Henri Germain , the president of Stade Reims , piloted him to France , where he took over from his compatriot Delio Onnis and was able to replace him straight away. Bianchi scored 107 goals in 124 league games for the team from Champagne , and was also the top scorer in the French league in 1974, 1976 and 1977 . He had to pause for five months due to a double broken leg in a clash with Gallego during a friendly against FC Barcelona in Reims in October 1974. This was followed by positions at Paris Saint-Germain (1977-1979; also top scorer) and Racing Strasbourg (1979/80).

He then returned to Argentina to his hometown club Vélez Sársfield before he had to end his career at Stade de Reims, now only represented in Division 2 , during the 1984/85 season due to a persistent pubic inflammation .

Despite great success at club level, Carlos Bianchi was only allowed to slip on the jersey of the Argentine national team in 14 games (7 goals) . He was also denied participation in a soccer world championship .

In France's top division he not only scored 30 double and seven triple goals in one game each, but even two four and one five or six times each. According to official data, Bianchi ranks 8th in the list of the best club scorers of all time with 385 goals.

Personal achievements as a player

Trainer

Immediately after the end of his active career, he hired himself as a coach. From 1984 to 1988 he worked at Stade de Reims before spending one season each at OGC Nice (1989/90) and Paris Saint-Germain (1991/92).

In 1993 he took over his hometown club Vélez Sársfield, which he promptly led to the 1993 Clausura championship. A year later, after beating FC São Paulo in the final, he also won the Copa Libertadores , before the biggest triumph to date followed in the same year with the World Cup victory over AC Milan . With Vélez, he also won the Apertura Championship in 1995 and the Copa Interamericana in 1996 .

He then moved to Italy for AS Roma , who fired him ten months later for a sporty downhill run.

After a short break, during which he worked as a sports director at Paris FC , he continued his coaching career in 1998 with the troubled Boca Juniors . He brought the most popular club in the country back to life in a very short time. After two half-yearly championships, he won the Copa Libertadores in 2000 by winning on penalties against the Brazilian club SE Palmeiras . That same year Real Madrid were defeated in the final of the World Cup. With players like Martín Palermo , Óscar Córdoba and Juan Román Riquelme , he won the Copa Libertadores again in 2001, but narrowly failed in the World Cup final to Bayern Munich .

Only a year after his resignation he was brought back by the shipwrecked Boca Juniors. Again he won the Argentine half-year championship and the Copa Libertadores straight away. Due to a success with AC Milan, the World Cup also went back to the Boca Juniors showcases. Twelve months later he failed in another final of the Copa Libertadores by a hair's breadth at the Colombian club Once Caldas .

Bianchi resigned due to insufficient sporting prospects and took a year off before signing a two-year contract with Atlético Madrid for the 2005/06 season . But the second attempt to gain a foothold in European football also failed prematurely, as Bianchi was dismissed after only six months for lack of success. At the turn of the year 2012/2013 Carlos Bianchi returned to the Boca Juniors.
