With more than 40 years dedicated to sports journalism, Bautista opted from the beginning for soccer, which was his great passion. A high-impact specialist, he stood out on the radio and in the written press, becoming editor-in-chief of El Mundo and El Diario de Caracas. He also worked in Meridiano, where he was considered one of the best soccer journalists.
His interviews had that bite of the seasoned journalist and in this sense he recreated works with Diego Armando Maradona and King Pelé, among others.
El Chigüire, as he was known by his friends and colleagues, lived two stages in The Universel, the first towards the end of the nineties and the last one since three years ago, when he returned to contribute his talent and disposition to these pages.
Passionate about social networks, his tweets raised controversy, while keeping his followers informed. The Vinotinto and the Venezuelan Football League (Futven) had Carlos Bautista a defender and a staunch critic when sports policies were distorted.
His perception of Venezuelan sport was invaluable and in this sense his proposals for topics for the Semanario de The universal they had specific weight.
Precisely in these tasks, death surprised him, when he structured a work of the Venezuelan tripler Yulimar Rojas.
Carlos is survived by his daughter Viviana, who decided to settle in Buenos Aires years ago. Peace to your soul.
