Daniel Alberto Passarella (born May 25, 1953 in Buenos Aires ) is a former Argentine football player and coach . He was placed on the list of the 125 best footballers alive ( FIFA 100 ) by Pelé . He is the only Argentine to have won two football championships (1978 and 1986).

From 1994 to 1998 he was the head coach of the Argentina national team. He then looked after the Uruguay national team from 1999 to 2001.

Career

player

Daniel Passarella began his career with Sarmiento de Junín . He then played at River Plate . In 1982 he made the leap to Europe, where he signed with the Italian Serie A club Fiorentina . In 1986 he moved to Inter Milan . After six successful seasons in Italy, he left Europe and returned to South America to go back to Argentina and play for River Plate again.

He was nicknamed "El gran Capitan" (the great captain) or "Emperor" because of his appearance in the game and his leadership skills. Passarella was a very attacking defender, scoring an impressive 134 hits in 451 games.

The high point of his career was the football World Cup in 1978 in his home country. He led the Argentine national team on the field as captain in every game, played all games, scored once in the preliminary round and after the final he won the World Cup. Also at the Soccer World Cup in Spain in 1982 Passarella was the captain of the Argentine team, but they could not defend their title and were eliminated in the second round. He had two hits during the tournament. At the 1986 World Cup in Mexico he was also in the Argentine squad, but remained without a single use; this also because he had fallen out with coach Carlos Bilardo and his new captain Diego Maradona two years before the World Cup .

Trainer

In 1989 Passarella retired as a player and became a coach at River Plate. He won the Argentine championship with the club in 1989/90, 1991 ( Apertura ) and 1993 (Apertura). In 1994 he was appointed national coach. He led the national team to the 1998 World Cup in France , where the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals with a 2-1 draw against the Netherlands .

He then coached the Uruguayan national team , the Mexican team CF Monterrey (won the Mexican championship in 2003) and the Corinthians São Paulo in Brazil.

From January 10, 2006 Passarella was again a coach at River Plate. On November 15, 2007, he drew the consequences of the failure of his team in the Copa Sudamericana , comparable to the UEFA Cup , against the Argentine club Arsenal de Sarandí and resigned. Passarella had announced his resignation at the beginning of the season if River Plate were again without a title. When he left, he announced that he was now keeping his word.
