More on Carlos Bilardo
Description from Wikipedia:
Carlos Salvador Bilardo (born March 16, 1939 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine football (soccer) player and coach (and a physician by training) who achieved worldwide renown as a player with Estudiantes de La Plata and as coach of the 1986 World Cup champion team.
Born to Sicilian immigrants and raised in the Buenos Aires La Paternal neighborhood, Bilardo mixed football, study and hard work from his childhood. On school vacations, he would get up before dawn to haul produce to the Abasto market in Buenos Aires. Even as he rose through the youth divisions of San Lorenzo de Almagro, young Carlos never gave up on his ambition to become a doctor.
Bilardo was drafted to the junior Argentina national football team that obtained the 1959 Pan-American title and took part in the 1960 Summer Olympic Games in Rome.
In 1961, Bilardo was transferred to second-division side Deportivo Español, where he became the team's top scorer, but he slowly gravitated to the position of defensive midfielder. In 1965, he was transferred to Estudiantes de La Plata, where coach Osvaldo Zubeldía built a team based on the killer juveniles (la tercera que mata) and thought of using Bilardo as a more mature anchor for the midfield.
Bilardo became Estudiantes' inside-the-pitch tactician. Over a four-year span, the team won one Metropolitano title (1967), three Copa Libertadores titles (1968-1970) and one Intercontinental Cup (1968).
Bilardo retired from the practice of medicine in 1976, feeling that being a phyisician requires a full-time commitment that he was unable to provide.
Following the 2007 gubernatorial election, Bilardo was named Secretary of Sports of Buenos Aires province under governor Daniel Scioli.
