After that he couldn't win a title with San Lorenzo. In 1979 Jorge Olguín left the club and moved to CA Independiente from Avellaneda. In his three years at Independiente the defender was able to win a national title, in 1983 he won the Metropolitano one point ahead of his old club CA San Lorenzo de Almagro. This allowed the club to participate in the Copa Libertadores of the following year , which one also won. Olguín was no longer in Avellaneda at the time of the Libertadores win, he had left the club in 1983 and moved to the Argentinos Juniors . With the club he won the Primera División twice in 1983 and 1984 , and in 1985 he helped the Argentinos Juniors win the Copa Libertadores for the first time.
