His greatest victory: Carlos Bilardo (here with the player Pedro Pasculli) on June 29, 1986 after the 3-2 final victory in Mexico City.
Bilardo became world champion with Argentina in 1986 with a 3-2 victory over Germany and advanced four years later with Diego Maradona and Co. to the World Cup final – this final in Rome was won by the Germans.
As a player, he won the Copa Libertadores, the most important club competition in South America, three times from 1968 to 1970 with Estudiantes. In Argentina, more than 1,100 people have died of Covid-19, according to official figures.
