José Antonio Yudica (born February 26, 1936 in Rosario ) is a former Argentine soccer player and soccer coach .

As a player both in his home country for Boca Juniors and Newell's Old Boys and in Colombia for Deportivo Cali , Yudica was even more successful as a coach. With the Argentinos Juniors he won the Copa Libertadores in 1985 . With the same club, as well as with Quilmes AC and the Newell's Old Boys, he won the Argentine football championship three times.

Player career

José Antonio Yudica was born on February 26, 1936 in the Argentine city of Rosario . He began playing football at the local club Newell's Old Boys , for whom he made 112 league games with 25 goals between 1954 and 1958 after his youth. At that time, the club was not one of the top clubs in Argentine football, it was rather in the relegation battle of the Primera División . After the descent was only bypassed in 1958, Yudica moved to the Boca Juniors for the following season . In La Boca the attacker acted for three seasons between 1959 and 1961. During this time, he completed a total of 65 league games with twenty goals for the Boca Juniors. However, Yudica did not win the title with the big club, and in none of the three years was it possible to seriously enter the race for the championship.

José Yudica played in the episode from 1962 to 1963 for two seasons for CA Vélez Sársfield , with whom he did not relegate twice, however. In 1964 a one-year episode followed at Estudiantes de La Plata , which also ended with a placement just above the relegation zone. From 1965 to 1966 Yudica was then for CA Platense on the pitch, which had only been promoted back to the Primera División the year before. As a climber, Platense kept clear in the Primera División 1965 with seventh place. The following year they finished seventeenth, but there were no relegations either. The 1967 season spent José Yudica at Quilmes AC , where he was to have later as a coach great success. However, the season ended with the club's relegation from the Primera División.

In the 1968 season, José Yudica moved to Colombia to Deportivo Cali . The 1968 season ended the team in second place in the Categoría Primera A , just two points behind the new master Unión Magdalena . The following year they could improve again and were the first in the regular season to participate in a championship round, consisting of the three teams Deportivo Cali, América de Cali and Los Millonarios . José Yudica finished this championship round with Deportivo Cali as the first and won his first championship ever in his career. For Deportivo Cali it was the third Colombian championship title.

1970 José Yudica returned to Argentina and joined the Talleres de Escalada club in Primera C. In the third division in 1970, the championship and the associated promotion to Primera B succeeded . Yudica played for Talleres de Escalada until 1971, before playing soccer for CA San Telmo for another six months . In 1971, José Yudica ended his footballing career at the age of 35.

Coaching career

Championship with Quilmes AC

From 1972 to 1976 José Yudica had his first coaching position at the amateur club Altos Hornos Zapla . There Yudica worked successfully and was the new trainer of the first division Quilmes AC for the 1977 season . In the first year, the Torneo Metropolitano finished in fifteenth place in the table and the Torneo Nacional in fifth place in Group B. In the 1978 Primera División , José Yudica achieved the first major success of his coaching career and thus the greatest triumph in the club's history to date by Quilmes AC. With one point ahead of Boca Juniors , the Torneo Metropolitano finished in first place and thus brought the Argentine football championship to Quilmes for the first and only time to date. With this success, Yudica's team was eligible for the 1979 Copa Libertadores . There they failed after the group stage as the last in Group 1 behind league rivals CA Independiente and the two Colombian representatives Deportivo Cali and Los Millonarios.

The Torneo Nacional of the Primera División 1978 ended Quilmes under coach José Yudica on a midfield rank in the group stage. In the following year, the team was unable to match the decisions made in the championship race. The Torneo Metropolitano finished Quilmes in seventh place in Group B, while the Torneo Nacional finished fifth in Group B. After the end of the 1979 season, José Yudica's time as coach of Quilmes AC also ended.

In 1979 José Yudica took over the coaching position at his hometown club Newell's Old Boys, but remained largely unsuccessful there in two years. After he was responsible for the Newell's Old Boys until 1980, José Yudica coached Estudiantes de La Plata for half a year in 1980 and finished the Torneo Nacional in third place in Group A in the group stage, which narrowly missed qualification for the knockout round . 1981 Yudica was again responsible for Quilmes AC, which was relegated in the meantime from the Primera División. As the winner of the Primera B succeeded under the returning successful coach José Yudica, the direct promotion to the Primera División. Then the club and coach separated again and Yudica took over the following season at CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . With the traditional club, which was relegated to the second division at the time, Yudica managed to return directly to the Primera División, but was no longer employed afterwards.

Success with the Argentinos Juniors

For the first division season 1985 José Yudica was the successor of Roberto Saporiti the new trainer at the Argentinos Juniors . Under Saporiti, the Juniors had finished the previous season with the championship in Torneo Metropolitano and thus qualified for the Copa Libertadores 1985 . There they met at the beginning of the group stage on league competitor Ferro Carril Oeste and the two Brazilian teams Fluminense Rio de Janeiro and CR Vasco da Gama . After tied on points with Ferro Carril Oeste, the Argentinos Juniors won the necessary playoff with 3: 1 and thus moved into the second group phase. Here coach Yudica's team had to deal with defending champion Independiente Avellaneda and Club Blooming from Bolivia . With six points from four games, the Juniors moved into the group winners in the final of the Copa Libertadores , where América de Cali from Colombia was waiting as an opponent . After both the Argentinos Juniors and América de Cali won their respective home game 1-0, a third final game had to determine the winner of the 1985 Copa Libertadores. In this it was 1: 1 after extra time, so that the game was finally decided on penalties. There the Argentinos Juniors prevailed around players like Jorge Olguín , Sergio Batista and Claudio Borghi 5-4 and were able to win the Copa Libertadores title for the club for the first time in the club's history. In the final of the World Cup, however, they lost a little later to the winner of the 1984/85 European Cup , Juventus Turin , with 2: 4 on penalties, after it had been 2: 2 after the end of extra time.

Yudica was also very successful in the league with the Argentinos Juniors. In the Torneo Nacional of the Primera División 1985 they defeated Vélez Sársfield 2-1 in the final and won the championship title for the Juniors for the second time in two years. The next season ended in fourth place. In 1986/87, however, things went less well for the Argentinos Juniors. The club finished the season only in seventeenth place in the table. Coach José Yudica was released after three successful years during the season.

Newell's Old Boys, Colombia and Mexico

Between 1987 and 1990, José Yudica was responsible for the sporting success of his hometown club Newell's Old Boys, where he was coach from 1979 to 1980. In the Primera División 1987/88 Yudica's team finished first after the end of all game days with a lead of six points on CA San Lorenzo de Almagro. After 1974 this meant the second Argentine championship for the Newell's Old Boys. As the Argentine champions from 1987/88, the club was also eligible to compete in the 1988 Copa Libertadores . In the group stage they finished in first place in the group, ahead of San Lorenzo and the Ecuadorian clubs Barcelona SC Guayaquil and CD Filanbanco , which meant their entry into the knockout round. There the team defeated players like the young attacker Gabriel Batistuta , his striker colleague Sergio Omar Almirón or defender Roberto Néstor Sensini one after the other Club Bolívar from Bolivia and San Lorenzo de Almagro and thus moved into the final. It is curious that the Newell's Old Boys were actually eliminated in the quarter-finals against the Uruguayan representative Nacional Montevideo , but as the best of the three losers they made it through and finally even reached the final. There Yudica's team lost to Nacional Montevideo again and thus missed the win in the Copa Libertadores.

As a result, José Yudica worked for the Newell's Old Boys until 1990, but could not post any further title wins. In the same year he went to Colombia and became the new coach of Deportivo Cali, where he had also worked as a player. Yudica coached Deportivo Cali from 1990 to 1994, but remained without a title during this time. After the end of the 1994 season, José Yudica returned to his Argentine homeland and took over the coaching position again with the Newell's Old Boys, which he looked after in the 1995/96 season and led to twelfth place in the table. After the end of the season, the club and the coach separated again. For his last coaching position, José Yudica then went to Mexico to CF Pachuca . With the second division club, Yudica was promoted to Primera División 'A' in 1996 . A year later, José Yudica's career as a coach finally ended at the age of 61.
