Sergio Bismarck Villar (born January 5, 1944 in Montevideo ) is a former Uruguayan football player who, however, spent almost his entire career in Argentina and is still the record player of CA San Lorenzo de Almagro today.

Career

Sergio Villar was born in 1944 in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo and made his first footballing experience with local small clubs called Sportivo Cerrito and CA Canillitas . From there he moved to Club Atlético Defensor , nowadays a four-time champion, but at that time still without winning a title in the club's history.

In 1968 he left Uruguay and moved to the Argentine Primera División to CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . In his first season at San Lorenzo, the team of Brazilian coach Tim won the Argentine soccer championship. With players like Rodolfo Fischer , Roberto Telch and José Albrecht , San Lorenzo won the final of the Torneo Metropolitano 2-1 against the reigning World Cup winner Estudiantes de La Plata . But this title was only the beginning of Sergio Villar's extremely successful time at San Lorenzo de Almagro. You had to wait four years for the next championship, but then it came in a double pack. In the Primera División 1972 you could not only win the Torneo Metropolitano with six points in front of the Racing Club , but also the Torneo Nacional with a 1-0 final win over CA River Plate . Coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo's team was the first team ever to achieve the feat of winning both half-year championships in one year. Two years later Sergio Villar then achieved the fourth championship title with CA San Lorenzo de Almagro, when the Torneo Nacional could end with one point ahead of Rosario Central .

After that, Sergio Villar did not make any further championship titles with his team. The Uruguayan defender played for San Lorenzo de Almagro until 1981. He played a total of 446 official games for the team from the capital Buenos Aires , in which he scored six goals. With that number of games, Villar is still the record player for San Lorenzo de Almagro, followed by Roberto Telch and the successful midfielder of the 1930s, Ángel Zubieta . Besides Telch, Carlos Veglio , Victorio Cocco and Agustín Irusta, Villar is one of only five players who have won four championships with San Lorenzo de Almagro, with all five players going back to the successful days of San Lorenzo de Almagro in the early 1970s.

After leaving San Lorenzo, Sergio Villar played for the All Boys for another year before retiring at the age of 38 at the end of the 1982 season.
