Career

Club career

Carlos Veglio, born on August 27, 1946 in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires , began playing football at the local club Deportivo Español . For this club Veglio was initially under contract with the youth, and later from 1964 also with the adults. By 1967 he had a total of 32 missions with four hits for Deportivo Español.

For the 1968 season, Carlos Veglio moved to CA San Lorenzo de Almagro , also based in Buenos Aires. The midfielder spent many years of his career at the football club from the Almagro district , playing in 202 league games for San Lorenzo until 1975. He achieved 59 goals. Carlos Veglio and his team won the Argentine championship in his first season at San Lorenzo. In the Primera División 1968 you could win the Torneo Metropolitano after defending champions Estudiantes de La Plata 2-1 in the final . Carlos Veglio celebrated the title wins two and three with San Lorenzo in the 1972 season . While the Torneo Metropolitano finished in first place with a lead of six points over the Racing Club , they were also victorious in the Torneo Nacional that followed later in the year. Here they moved into the final without a fight and defeated record champions River Plate 1-0 after extra time. This made San Lorenzo the first team in the history of the Metropolitano-Nacional-System to win both championships in one year. Two years later, the club landed its fourth coup in this phase. The final round of the Torneo Nacional in the Primera División 1974 ended first with one point ahead of Rosario Central , which meant the last championship for San Lorenzo de Almagro for the time being. After that, it took until the 1990s before they could celebrate another title win. Carlos Veglio left San Lorenzo after the end of the 1975 season, he went to league rivals Boca Juniors .

At the Boca Juniors Veglio immediately developed into a regular and experienced three extremely successful years there. In the 1976 season, like San Lorenzo in 1972, both championships were won. Thus qualified for the Copa Libertadores 1977 , the team of coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo advanced to the final of the competition, where they could prevail against the Brazilian representative Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte in the playoff with 5: 4 on penalties. In the years of the military dictatorship, not exactly preferred by the government, the Boca Juniors knew they could repeat this feat the following year. Automatically qualifying as defending champions, they were in the final again and this time faced Deportivo Cali from Colombia . With 0: 0 and 4: 0, the Boca Juniors prevailed again and defended the Copa Libertadores . Carlos Veglio was only a substitute this time and was only substituted in in the second final game. A year earlier he was still decisively involved in winning the title, as he scored the 1-0 winning goal for his team in the first leg of the final. In 1977 the Boca Juniors with Carlos Veglio also won the World Cup after winning the Libertadores Cup , against Borussia Mönchengladbach they won 3-0 after a 2-2 at home in the second leg in the Wildpark Stadium in Karlsruhe and secured the World Cup.

Carlos Veglio played his last season with the Boca Juniors in 1978. After that, a certain odyssey through South American football began for him. In the following four years he played successively at Universidad de Los Andes FC in Venezuela , again at Boca Juniors, then at Club León in Mexico , in Paraguay at Cerro Porteño and back in Argentina at Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy . Carlos Veglio ended his footballing career in 1982 at the age of 36 in this club's jersey.
