'''Carlos Bianchi''' (born 26 April 1949), nicknamed ''El Virrey'' (''The Viceroy''), is an Argentine former [[Association football|football]] player and manager. A prolific goalscorer, although he had a bright career as a [[Forward (association football)|forward]] in Argentina and France, Bianchi is best known as one of the most successful coaches of all time managing [[Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield|Vélez Sarsfield]] and [[Club Atlético Boca Juniors|Boca Juniors]] to a great number of titles each. Bianchi is the only coach to win four [[Copa Libertadores]].

He is also the only coach to secure three Intercontinental Cups, and shares with [[Josep Guardiola]] and [[Carlo Ancelotti]] a joint-record of three club world championship titles. He most recently served as manager of Boca Juniors. Boca Juniors and Vélez Sársfield made him a statue.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol/velez/Bianchi-estatua-Velez_0_Skz991FPXl.html|title=Bianchi ya tiene su estatua en Vélez|date=December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2014/08/28/boca-juniors-fire-coach-carlos-bianchi/14763187/|title = Boca Juniors fire coach Carlos Bianchi|website = [[USA Today]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tycsports.com/futbol/boca-presento-la-estatua-carlos-bianchi.html|title = Boca presentó la estatua a Carlos Bianchi - TyC Sports| date=9 October 2016 }}</ref>

==Biography==
Born in [[Buenos Aires]], Bianchi was raised in a middle-class family. In 1972, he married Margaret Mary Pilla and they had two children: Mauro Carlos and Brenda. Now has four grandchildren: Paul, Carlos and Louis (who are sons of Mauro) and Mateo (son of Brenda and [[Club Atlético Huracán|Huracán]] defender [[Eduardo Dominguez]]). His father worked in a sales position in which Carlos regularly helped until he made his debut as a player in first-division football for [[Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield|Vélez Sarsfield]], the club which he was a fan of.

During his tenure as coach of Vélez Sarsfield he was known as the "Virrey" (viceroy, in Spanish), named by sports writer [[Victor Hugo Morales]]. The reason is based on footballing and historical grounds as Bianchi obtained several titles as a player and coach with Vélez Sarsfield. The club is located in the neighborhood of Liniers alluding to the [[Santiago de Liniers|Virrey Liniers]], who was in command of the [[Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata]] by early 1800.

== Playing career ==
=== Beginning and consolidation ===
[[File:Bianchi velez.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Bianchi in Vélez Sársfield, c. 1970]]
Like some many other Argentine men's footballers, Bianchi gave his first steps playing "baby fútbol", a five-a-side variant of [[futsal]] mainly played by children and youth, practised on smaller surfaces (usually [[parquetry]], [[cement]] or [[synthetic grass]]).<ref>[https://www.bubblefootball.es/blog/baby-futbol/ Qué es el baby futbol?]</ref> At 11 years old, Bianchi started playing for Club Ciclón de Jonte, a type of subsidiary of [[Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield|Vélez Sarsfield]]<ref name=orgullo>[https://www.espn.com.ar/noticias/nota?s=arg&id=951945&type=column Un orgullo llamado Vélez Sarsfield] on ESPN, 30 Dec 2009</ref> A representative of the club saw Bianchi's potential and took him to play at the youth divisions of Vélez Sársfield. By the time he was 16 yo, Bianchi had been promoted to the third division.

Bianchi was finally promoted to the first squad by Vélez Sarsfield manager [[Victorio Spinetto]], making his debut with the team at the age of 18 in a 1–1 tie against [[Boca Juniors]].<ref name="AFA">[http://www.afa.org.ar/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5226:Carlos%20Bianchi "Carlos Bianchi"] on AFA website</ref> One year later, Bianchi scored his first goal in Primera v [[Argentinos Juniors]], on July 7, 1968. One week later, Bianchi broke the long standing [[Amadeo Carrizo]]'s record of 769 minutes with his goal unbeaten.<ref name=orgullo/><ref>[https://www.elgrafico.com.ar/articulo/1088/23195/1968-el-record-que-conmovio-al-pai El récord que conmovió al país], ''El Gráfico'', 18 Aug 2018</ref>

With only 19 years old, Bianchi was part of the Vélez Sarsfield team that won the [[1968 Argentine Primera División|1968 Nacional]] championship and was consecrated as the top scorer of [[1970 Argentine Primera División|1970 Nacional]] championship with 18 goals and [[1971 Argentine Primera División|1971 Metropolitano]] with 36.<ref name="ARG scorers">Castro Serna, Emmanuel. [https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/argtops.html "Argentina – List of Topscorers"] on the [[Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|RSSSF]]</ref> His good performances with the team and a serious injure of forward Omar Wehbe allowed Bianchi to be the centreforward of Vélez Sársfield.<ref>[https://www.velezsarsfield.com.ar/homenajes/notas/2020/04/23/163419_muy-feliz-cumpleanos-carlos Muy Feliz Cumpleaños Carlos] on Vélez Sarsfield, 26 Apr 2020</ref>

}}
In 1973 Bianchi was signed by [[Stade de Reims|Reims]], a French team of [[Ligue 1]]. In his [[1973–74 French Division 1|first season]] with the club, Bianchi was the top scorer of the league with 30 goals. Some of his most notable achievements in that year included the six goals scored in the 6–1 win over [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]]. Bianchi was seriously injured in a friendly match v [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] at [[Parc des Princes]] so he missed the season. After he recovered, Bianchi became the top scorer of the league once more, scoring 34 goals in [[1975–76 French Division 1|1975–76]] and 28 in [[1976–77 French Division 1|1976–77]].

During his tenure on Reims, Bianchi showed his scoring touch scoring 107 goals in four seasons and being the top scorer in the French championship in 1974, 1976 and 1977 marking 30, 34 and 28 goals, respectively.<ref name="FRA scorers">Delbrayelle, Dominique. [https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/frantops.html "France – Topscorers"]. ''RSSSF'', 17 July 2012. Retrieved on 9 May 2013.</ref> In 1977, he joined [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in which Bianchi was again the top scorer of the league in two seasons spent in the club.<ref name="FRA scorers" /> Because of the club's financial problems, Bianchi was transferred to Paris St. Germain in 1977.<ref name=frenchprof>[http://www.pari-et-gagne.com/joueur/carlos_bianchi.html Carlos Bianchi - Fiche de stats du joueur de football]</ref>

In [[1977–78 French Division 1|his first season]] with the Parisian club, Bianchi scored 37 goals in 38 matches, being also named best player of the season. The next season, [[1978–79 French Division 1|1978–79]], Bianchi was the top scorer again with 27 goals. Despite those outstanding individual performances, PSG did not achieve any title, on the contrary their performance was very poor, finishing eleventh. and 13th in the last seasons. Because of that, Bianchi chose to move to a more competitive team.<ref name=frenchprof/>

{{cquote|When I was part of the team, PSG was a more modest team, with less attacking power. But despite that, I scored 37 goals in 38 league matches during my first season with the club. I had intuition, I knew where the ball was about to be. It's that being a scorer was my life.|source= Carlos Bianchi}}

In the 1979–80 season, he played for [[Racing Club de Strasbourg|Strasbourg]], without success, scoring only eight goals. Bianchi returned to his home country in 1980 to play for Vélez Sarsfield where he became top scorer in the [[Primera División Argentina 1981#Metropolitano championship|1981]] with 15 goals.<ref name="ARG scorers" /> He would return to Stade de Reims where he would retire in 1984.<ref name="AFA" />

Bianchi is the top scorer in the history of Vélez Sarsfield with 206<ref name="AFA" /> goals and ninth overall in Argentine football.<ref>Rodríguez Couto, Tomás. [https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/argtops-allt.html "Argentina – All-Time Topscorers"]. ''RSSSF'', 21 March 2001. Retrieved on 9 May 2013.</ref> He is also the 9th top scorer in the history of the [[Ligue 1|French League]] with his 179 goals.<ref>Olenev, Maxim & Garin, Erik. [https://www.rsssf.org/tablesf/frantops-allt.html "France – All-Time Topscorers"]. ''RSSSF'', 30 January 2005. Retrieved on 9 May 2013.</ref> After his retirement, Bianchi is recognized by [[FIFA]] as Argentina's top scorer in the history of first division tournaments of the world, scoring a total of 385 goals (206 in Argentina and 179 in France) surpassing [[Alfredo Di Stefano]] (377 goals) and [[Delio Onnis]] (352 goals, 53 in Argentina and 299 in France), a great merit not recognized by many due to his coaching career greatly overshadowing his days as a player. Carlos Bianchi is the 8th top scorer in the history of first-division football.

He also earned 14 caps for [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], scoring 7 goals, during the period from 1970 to 1972.<ref name="AFA" />

=== Return to Vélez Sarsfield ===
[[File:Bianchi_mouzo.jpg|thumb|150px|Bianchi returned to Vélez Sarsfield in 1981. In the image, he poses with Boca Juniors' legend [[Roberto Mouzo]] that same year]]
At the end of the French season, Bianchi returned to his home country to play for Vélez Sarsfield, becoming the top scorer of [[1981 Argentine Primera División|1981 Nacional]] with 15 goals. His last season in Argentina was in the [[1984 Argentine Primera División|1984 Metropolitano]], where he played his last match with Vélez Sarsfield, a 1–2 defeat to Boca Juniors at [[José Amalfitani Stadium]] on July 1, 1984. Bianchi remains as all-time top scorer for Vélez Sarsfield, with 206 goals in 324 matches with the team.<ref>[https://www.ole.com.ar/velez/virrey-bianchi-libertadores-intercontinental_0_HyNlAzJyi3e.html Virrey y goleador], 1 Jul 2015 on Olé</ref>

=== Retirement in France ===
Bianchi returned to French football in [[1984–85 French Division 2|1984–85]] to play for Reims, his first team in Europe which was playing in [[Ligue 2]] (Second Division). Nevertheless the club did not make a good performance, finishing 12th. of Group A. Bianchi was not the temible scorer of his glory days, either. He only scored eight goals in the season and then retired from football. Nevertheless, Bianchi would stay in Reims after becoming manager of the team and being in charge during the [[1985–86 French Division 2|1985–86]] season.

== Managerial career ==
=== France ===
Bianchi made his debut as manager in March 1985 with [[Stade de Reims|Reims]] (where he had previously retired as player), being three seasons in the Second Division without achieving promotion to the Ligue 1, despite the team reached the semi-finals of [[Coupe de France]] twice. After his tenure with Reims, Bianchi was hired by [[OGC Nice|Nice]] in Ligue 1, coaching the club in 24 matches between 1989 and 1990. Nice remained in the top division after beating [[RC Strasbourg Alsace|Strasbourg]] in playoff with an aggregate score of 7–3.<ref>[https://www.lanacion.com.ar/deportes/futbol/el-dia-que-bianchi-se-salvo-del-descenso-con-linea-de-3-nid1335408 El día que Bianchi se salvó del descenso] on ''La Nación'', 21 Dec 2010</ref>

After Bianchi left Nice, he returned to Paris to coach [[Paris FC]], where he stayed two years (1991–92).

=== Argentina ===
Bianchi returned to Argentina in December 1992 to coach Vélez Sarsfield, the club where he had debuted, in replacement of [[Eduardo Luján Manera]]. His first match on the bench was on February 21, 1993, when Vélez beat [[Deportivo Español]] 2–0 with two goals by [[Omar Asad]] in the first round of the [[1992–93 Argentine Primera División|1993 Clausura]] season. Vélez won that championship with 27 points in 19 matches played, achieving their 2nd. league title.<ref>[https://www.vavel.com/ar/futbol-argentino/2017/06/08/velez/796902-hace-24-anos-velez-sarsfield-salia-campeon.html Hace 24 años, Vélez Sarsfield salía campeón] on Vavel by Lucas Vargas, 8 Jun 2017</ref>

As Argentine champion, Vélez qualified to [[1994 Copa Libertadores]], where the team shared group with strong and experienced rivals such as [[Boca Juniors]] and Brazilian [[Cruzeiro Esporte Clube|Cruzeiro]], and [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras|Palmeiras]]. Nevertheless Vélez placed 1st. in the zone therefore the squad qualified to the next stage. Vélez would then eliminate [[Defensor Sporting Club|Defensor]], [[Minervén S.C.|Minervén]], and [[Atlético Junior]] to face defending champions [[São Paulo FC|São Paulo]] in the finals. After both teams won one game each by the same score (10), a penalty shootout was run to decide a champion. After [[José Luis Chilavert]] stopped one shot and [[Roberto Pompei]] scored, Vélez Sarsfield won the series achieving their first Copa Libertadores trophy.<ref>[http://www.conmebol.com/es/30082015-1523/velez-campeon-de-la-copa-libertadores-1994 Vélez campeón de la Copa Libertadores 1994] on Conmebol</ref><ref>[https://www.infobae.com/2004/08/30/136435-a-diez-anos-del-velez-campeon-la-libertadores/ A diez años del Vélez campeón de la Libertadores] on Infobae, 30 Aug 2004</ref> The next step was the [[1994 Intercontinental Cup]], where Bianchi led Vélez Sarsfield to win their second international title after beating [[AC Milan|Milan]] 2–0.<ref>[https://www.lanacion.com.ar/deportes/futbol/a-25-anos-velez-campeon-intercontinental-vhs-nid2311386 A 25 años: cuando el Vélez de Bianchi puso de rodillas al Milan en Japón], ''La Nación'', 1 Dec 2019</ref> Vélez would go on to in two more league titles with Bianchi, establishing the most successful period in the club's history.

After a brief passage in Italian club [[AS Roma|Roma]], Bianchi returned to Argentina to coach [[Boca Juniors]]. In two stints in the club, Bianchi won four league titles, three [[Copa Libertadores]] titles and two [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]] titles, becoming the club's most successful manager.

== Career statistics ==
Bianchi is regarded as one of the best forwards of all time,<ref>[https://www.panenka.org/pasaportes/bianchi-virrey-francia/ Carlos Bianchi: el Virrey de Francia] on Panenka.org</ref> because of his impressive record of goals scored both in France and Argentina. He is the all-time topscorer of Vélez Sarsfield with 206 goals.
