Edgardo Bauza (born January 26, 1958 in Granadero Baigorria , Santa Fe province ) is a former Argentine football player who was particularly successful in his playing days in the jersey of Rosario Central , was twice Argentine champion with the club and also as an Argentine national player participated in the soccer world championship 1990 in Italy .

After the end of his football career, Bauza became a coach and in this role led the Ecuadorian club LDU Quito to a surprising victory in the Copa Libertadores 2008 . After a two-year hiatus, he was under contract for Liga de Quito from 2010 to 2013 as a coach. In 2016 he became the head coach of the Argentina national team , but only stayed that way until April 2017 due to moderate success.

Player career

Club career

Edgardo Bauza, born in 1958 in the town of Granadero Baigorria in the province of Santa Fe , began playing football for the Rosario Central club . He belonged to this club for a long time in his career, initially in a first period from 1977 to 1982. During this time, Rosario Central experienced a heyday in football. Under coach Ángel Tulio Zof , the team, equipped with a number of talented young players, succeeded in winning the Torneo Nacional of the Argentine football championship in 1980. In this half-year season, the surprise team of Racing de Córdoba prevailed in the final with 5-1 and 0-2 and thus won the first title since 1973 for Rosario Central. But only four years after the championship title in 1980, Rosario Central had to go into the second division completely surprisingly. Just as surprisingly, they came back better than ever before in the first division after the direct promotion and secured themselves in the 1986/87 season - the Argentine championship was now played in European mode from summer to summer - the championship one point ahead the Newell's Old Boys , Central's greatest rival. To this day, the championship of 1987 represents the last national title win by Rosario Central, nowadays the once successful club can only be found in the lower parts of the second division. Edgardo Bauzo was also directly involved in winning the 1986/87 championship, having previously left the club in 1982. In the meantime, the defender had kicked two years for Atlético Junior in Colombia and one year for CA Independiente , but there were no great successes.

After his return to Rosario Central in 1986, Edgardo Bauza played for the club for three more years, his appearances in Rosario's jersey totaled 310 games, with an impressive eighty goalscoring for a defender. In the winter of 1989/90 Edgardo Bauza left Rosario Central a second time and went to Mexico , where he let his career come to an end with the local first division club CD Veracruz in the following two years.

National team

Between 1981 and 1990 Edgardo Bauza made a total of three international appearances in the Argentine national soccer team . There was no hit. Argentina coach Carlos Bilardo , under whose direction the Albiceleste had become 1986 World Champion, nominated Bauza in 1990 somewhat surprising in the squad for the FIFA World Cup in Italy , where the transaction at Mexico signed defender but was then not used. The Argentine team, however, reached the final of the tournament after a rather bumpy start, where they had to admit defeat to Franz Beckenbauer's German team with 0: 1.

Coaching career

After the end of his active career as a football player, Edgardo Bauza became a coach. His first position in this role was from 1998 to 2001 at his hometown club Rosario Central, with whom he missed winning the championship again after thirteen years in the 1999/2000 season at Torneo Apertura as second behind CA River Plate . In 2001, Bauza changed clubs and became the new coach of CA Vélez Sársfield , where, however, just as in his subsequent engagement at CA Colón, only midfield placements were achieved.

After his time with Colón de Santa Fe, Edgardo Bauza left Argentina and became the new manager on the sidelines of the Peruvian first division club Sporting Cristal . In the Torneo Clausura of the Primera División Perus 2005 they finished first with four points ahead of Club Deportivo Universidad San Martín de Porres . A little later, they beat the winner of Torneo Apertura, Club Sportivo Cienciano , 1-0 through, which meant Edgardo Bauza's first championship win in the coaching career.

After another year as a coach at Colón de Santa Fe, Bauza took over the vacant coaching position at the Ecuadorian top club Liga de Quito in 2006 and worked very successfully in Ecuador for two years . After winning the Ecuadorian championship in 2007, they qualified for the Copa Libertadores 2008 and reached the final in this competition after successes over Estudiantes de La Plata , CA San Lorenzo de Almagro and Club America , in which one was on the Brazilian Representative Fluminense Rio de Janeiro met. Liga de Quito won the first leg at home in Estadio La Casa Blanca safely and surprisingly 4-2, but the second leg in the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro turned out to be a hanging game. Despite an early lead, Bauza's team, which included players such as Paul Ambrossi , Enrique Vera and Agustín Delgado , was still 3-1, and there were no more goals in extra time. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Quito's goalkeeper became a hero and saved three of the four Brazilian penalties, while Liga de Quito converted three of four and finally left the field as the winner. This made them the first ever Ecuadorian winner in the Copa Libertadores . A few months later they faced the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League winners , England representatives Manchester United , in the final of the FIFA Club World Cup , but lost 1-0 to a goal from Wayne Rooney in the 73rd minute of the game. After this game Edgardo Bauza announced his retirement as coach of Liga de Quito. In December 2009, Bauza was named the third best coach of the year in the world, behind only Alex Ferguson and Dick Advocaat . In South America, however, he was voted Coach of the Year.

In 2009, Bauza briefly worked for al-Nasr in Saudi Arabia , but this work ended prematurely and unsuccessfully. In 2010 he returned to the Liga de Quito coaching bench instead and won the Recopa Sudamericana 2010 with the club straight away , after his club had won the Copa Sudamericana 2009 under Bauza's predecessor Jorge Fossati  - again against Fluminense Rio de Janeiro. Also in 2010, Edgardo Bauza won the Ecuadorian football championship again with Liga de Quito. To this day, this title win is the last for Liga de Quito. In the years after 2010, other clubs had to be narrowly beaten every year, but the coach has remained constant since 2010 with the Argentine Edgardo Bauza.

After holding positions at CA San Lorenzo de Almagro (2014–2015) and FC São Paulo (2016), he became the coach of the Argentine national soccer team in the summer of 2016 . After taking office, he was able to persuade Lionel Messi , who had resigned after the Copa Centenario final, to make a comeback. However, sporting success might not really come about. After less than a year and only three wins in eight international matches under his leadership, Bauza was dismissed in April 2017. In May he was hired as the new coach of the United Arab Emirates' national soccer team . Bauza has been the coach of the Saudi Arabia national team since September 2017.
