Career

player

Ernesto Lazzatti was born on September 25, 1915 in Ingeniero White, a district of Bahía Blanca in the province of Buenos Aires . At Puerto Comercial, a club based in Bahía Blanca, he began playing football and was discovered there by scouts from the capital's club, Boca Juniors . The Juniors finally signed Ernesto Lazzatti as a professional player in 1934. The midfielder acted in the jersey of the Boca Juniors for the next thirteen years and completed 379 league games in which he scored sixteen goals. In his first season with the club from the working class La Boca , Lazzatti won the Argentine championship. In the Primera División 1934 , the Boca Juniors were after the end of all game days in first place with a lead of one point over Independiente Avellaneda . The following year they were able to defend this championship, this time Boca separated three points from the main competitor Independiente. As a result, it was five years until 1940 before the Boca Juniors and Ernesto Lazzatti could win the Argentine championship again. Again before Independiente they finished the Primera División first, which meant the third championship with the Boca Juniors for Ernesto Lazzatti. With El Pibe de Oro , Lazzatti's nickname, which Diego Maradona would also be given a decade later , the Boca Juniors were successful again in the 1943 season . They finished first in the Primera División, one point ahead of defending champion CA River Plate . And a year later followed the fifth and final championship title for Ernesto Lazzatti in the jersey of the Boca Juniors. This time they left River Plate behind with two points.

Ernesto Lazzatti played with Boca Juniors until 1946 before he left the club for Uruguay . Lazzatti joined the club Danubio FC and spent two more years in Uruguayan football before ending his active football career in 1948 at the age of 33.

National team

In 1936 and 1937 Ernesto Lazzatti made four appearances in the Argentine national football team . He didn't get a hit. During this time he participated in the Campeonato Sudamericano 1937 , which the Argentine team was able to make victorious. In the decisive final game in front of 80,000 spectators in the old Estadio Gasómetro in San Lorenzo , the Argentine team around players like Vicente de la Mata , Roberto Cherro or Antonio Sastre won 2-0 after extra time and brought the South American Cup into their own country.

Trainer

1950 Lazzatti replaced the Hungarian Ferenc Plattkó as coach of the Boca Juniors after the third match day , who was able to prevent the club's relegation the previous year. Until then, the club had one win and two losses. Under Lazzatti, the Boca Juniors finished the season as runner-up. Lazzatti then left the club because he had a quarrel with a member of the club's management. He then opened a car dealership in Temperley in the Buenos Aires area.

In 1954 he took over as the successor of György Orth again as coach at the Boca Juniors and was this time with four points ahead of Independiente champion. That was the club's first championship since he won the title with him in 1944. This year the Boca Juniors had an average attendance of 30,000, the highest in the club's history. Lazzatti said goodbye to the club after this success and was replaced by Jaime Sarlanga .

From then on he worked as a sports journalist. First he was with El Grafico , then with La Prensa and Canal 7.

He died on the penultimate day of 1988 at the age of 73.
