==Early life==
Tevez was born Carlos Alberto Martínez by his mother's surname in [[Ciudadela, Buenos Aires|Ciudadela]], [[Buenos Aires Province]], and raised in the neighbourhood of Ejército de Los Andes, better known as "[[Fuerte Apache]]". It was from there he received the nickname of "El Apache".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.goal.com/En/MediaImagesGallery.aspx?Id=42168 |title=The Iron Fist of El Apache.

He was adopted by his maternal aunt Adriana Noemí Martínez and her husband Segundo Raimundo Tévez. His adopted parents changed his surname to his adopted father's during a conflict between his junior club [[All Boys]] and [[Boca Juniors]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2005/10/23/deportes/d-01076407.htm |title=Carlos Tévez: En All Boys era Carlos Martínez |work=Clarín |date=23 October 2005 |access-date=19 July 2011 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303210157/http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2005/10/23/deportes/d-01076407.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Tevez has a distinctive burn scar that runs down his neck from his right ear to his chest. He was accidentally scalded with boiling water as a child, which caused [[burn|third-degree burns]] and kept him hospitalised in intensive care for nearly two months.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2004/08/29/deportes/1093730414_850215.html|title=Tévez, el jorobado de oro|first=Diego|last=Torres|newspaper=El País|date=28 August 2004|via=elpais.com}}</ref> After joining Boca Juniors, Tevez refused an offer from the club to have them cosmetically improved, saying the scars were a part of who he was in the past and who he is today.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/03/05/sociedad/s-01152699.htm|title=Clarín|access-date=21 June 2008|archive-date=12 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081212102634/http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/03/05/sociedad/s-01152699.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===West Ham United===
[[File:CarlosTevez (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|Tevez with West Ham United in April 2007]]
Tevez confirmed on his website on 31 August that both he and Corinthians teammate [[Javier Mascherano]] were signing for [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] on permanent deals for undisclosed fees.<ref name="trans">{{cite news |date=5 July 2011 |title=Carlos Tévez's chequered transfer history |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/8617146/Carlos-Tevezs-chequered-transfer-history.html |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/8617146/Carlos-Tevezs-chequered-transfer-history.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |access-date=5 January 2012 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-08-31 |title=Tevez y Mascherano fichan para el West Ham inglés |url=https://www.espn.com.gt/noticias/nota?id=475837 |access-date=2025-01-18 |website=ESPN.com.gt |language=es}}</ref>

Tevez made his West Ham debut after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 1–1 home draw with [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] on 10 September 2006.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/09/10/um/m-01268973.htm |title=Tevez Debuts in a West Ham Draw With Aston Villa |work=Clarin |date=10 September 2006 |language=es |access-date=15 May 2009 |archive-date=20 May 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100520010606/http://www.clarin.com/diario/2006/09/10/um/m-01268973.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, after this match, West Ham went on a nine-game winless streak (one draw and eight defeats), which included seven consecutive matches without scoring. This winless run also included going out of both the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] and [[Football League Cup|League Cup]]. In November of the same season, Tevez left the ground early after being substituted and throwing a tantrum during a league match against [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]], and as punishment, his teammates decided Tevez had to donate half of a week's wages to charity and train in a [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] jersey. Tevez refused to wear the shirt, saying, "I played in Brazil and have a great respect for Brazil and Brazilians but I'm Argentine and won't wear that shirt."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=181445 |title=Tévez Unwelcome Back At Corinthians |work=Goal.com |date=2 December 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014190928/http://goal.com/en-us/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=181445 |archive-date=14 October 2007 }}</ref>

On 6 January 2007, Tevez made his first start for West Ham under the new management of [[Alan Curbishley]] in a 3–0 [[FA Cup]] third round victory over [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]]. He scored his first West Ham goal and assisted two others on 4 March 2007 in a 4–3 home defeat to [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]]. In April 2007, West Ham were fined a record £5.5&nbsp;million for breaching Premier League rules over the signings of Tevez and Mascherano. Nonetheless, Tevez was cleared to play for West Ham by the Premier League after changes were planned to be made to a third-party agreement related to him.<ref name="3rdparty">{{cite news |title=The Premier League hearing minutes: in full |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/apr/27/newsstory.sport3 |work=The Guardian |date=27 April 2007 |access-date=21 October 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6602697.stm |title=West Ham receive Tevez clearance |publisher=BBC Sport |date=28 April 2007 |access-date=28 June 2007}}</ref> That same month, Tevez was named the club's Hammer of the Year.<ref>{{cite news |title=Tévez named Hammer of the Year |url=http://www.whufc.com/news/?page_id=9101 |publisher=West Ham United FC |date=5 May 2007 |access-date=26 June 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929084301/http://www.whufc.com/news/?page_id=9101 |archive-date=29 September 2007 }}</ref>

====2007 transfer saga====
In June 2007, Tevez rejected a move to [[Inter Milan]],<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6251900.stm |title=Tevez rejects move to Inter Milan |publisher=BBC Sport |date=28 June 2007 |access-date=29 June 2007 }}</ref> and his representative, Kia Joorabchian, stated that he was in discussions to stay with West Ham, as the player had settled into the Premier League and wanted to remain in England. Tevez replied that he would not make a decision until the [[2007 Copa América|Copa América]] concluded in July.

On 5 July, it was reported that Tevez had agreed to join Manchester United.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2007/jul/05/newsstory.manchesterunited|title=Football: Manchester United set to sign Carlos Tevez|date=5 July 2007|work=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-30317756.html|title=United close in on Tevez deal|date=5 July 2007|work=Irish Examiner}}</ref> West Ham said they would block any transfer unless they received a majority of the transfer fee.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11667_2594889,00.html |title=League may block Tevez move |last=ORourke |first=Peter |publisher=Sky Sports |date=5 July 2007 |access-date=19 July 2011}}</ref> The next day, West Ham released a statement saying Tevez was under contract until June 2010, in addition to denying having held negotiations with any other club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.whufc.com/articles/article.php?page_id=9272 |title=Chairman makes statement on Tevez |publisher=West Ham United FC |date=6 July 2007 |access-date=6 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010130735/http://www.whufc.com/articles/article.php?page_id=9272 |archive-date=10 October 2007 }}</ref> Joorabchian contradicted the claim by stating West Ham had given permission to United to engage in talks.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6276064.stm |title=Tevez 'agrees terms' with Man Utd |publisher=BBC Sport |date=6 July 2007 |access-date=6 July 2007 }}</ref>

Manchester United and West Ham sought [[FIFA]]'s assistance to rule on Tevez's ownership, but on 24 July, FIFA suggested the case be referred to the [[Court of Arbitration for Sport]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Tévez transfer row set for CAS |url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?HLID=478492&CPID=8&title=Tevez+transfer+row+set+for+CAS&lid=&channel=Football_Home&f=rss&clid=21 |publisher=Sky Sports }}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Joorabchian intervened by issuing West Ham with a High Court writ "...to compel West Ham to release the registration of Carlos Tevez in accordance with contracts entered into between the parties".<ref>{{cite news |title=Tevez agent hints at end to saga |publisher=BBC Sport |date=28 July 2007 |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/6912571.stm |access-date=8 August 2007 }}</ref> However, the case never made it to court as the Premier League approved an agreement between West Ham and MSI in which MSI would pay £2&nbsp;million to West Ham, who in turn released Tevez from his contract.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/6922733.stm|title=Tevez cleared to sign for Man Utd|publisher=BBC Sport|date=3 August 2007|access-date=8 August 2007}}</ref>

====Sheffield United controversy====
Sheffield United were relegated after their loss to Wigan Athletic on the final day of the [[2006–07 FA Premier League|2006–07 season]], while West Ham United narrowly avoided relegation by beating the newly crowned champions Manchester United 1–0 on the same day, finishing three points ahead of Sheffield United and having a superior goal difference to them by one. The Premier League fined West Ham a record £5.5&nbsp;million in the signing of Tevez and compatriot [[Javier Mascherano]]. They were found to have been [[Third-party ownership in association football|partially owned]] by businessman Kia Joorabchian's [[Media Sports Investment]] (MSI) company.

As a result, Sheffield United first appealed to the league for reinstatement to the Premier League. After this claim failed, the club sought [[damages]] from West Ham arising from the relegation. Initial media reports suggested Sheffield United sought £30&nbsp;million, which they believed was the true cost of relegation. The controversy continued for nearly two years, interspersed with various differing media reports and speculations. However, on 17 March 2009, both clubs reached an out-of-court settlement to end their dispute, whereby West Ham paid £20&nbsp;million (£4&nbsp;million ''per'' year over the next five seasons) as compensation to Sheffield United.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/west-ham-to-pay-16320m-over-five-years-to-settle-tevez-saga-1646421.html |work=The Independent |title=West Ham to pay £20m over five years to settle Tévez saga |first=Jason |last=Burt |date=17 March 2009 |access-date=1 April 2010 |location=London}}</ref>

===Manchester United===
[[File:Carlos Tévez.jpg|thumb|upright|Tevez playing for Manchester United in February 2008]]
Manchester United put forward a proposed two-year loan deal for Tevez, which was approved on 10 August 2007.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6935741.stm |title=Man Utd set to wrap up Tévez deal |date=8 August 2007 |access-date=8 August 2007 |publisher=BBC Sport }}</ref> He made his debut on 15 August when he started in place of the injured [[Wayne Rooney]] in a 1–1 draw against [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Saj |last=Chowdhury |title=Portsmouth 1–1 Man Utd |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/6941810.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=15 August 2007 |access-date=15 August 2007 }}</ref> On 23 September, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 home victory against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]. In November, United manager [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] confirmed the club wanted to sign Tevez permanently, saying, "He'll get me 15 goals this season, and what's more, they'll be important goals."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fergie-to-tie-down-tevez-1012127 |title=Fergie to tie down Tevez |date=25 November 2007 |access-date=15 December 2020 |publisher=Manchester Evening News}}</ref> Tevez was greeted with an ovation and singing of "There's Only One Carlos Tevez" from the West Ham supporters upon his return to [[Boleyn Ground|Upton Park]] for an away match (lost by Manchester United) on 29 December.

Tevez scored a total of five goals during Manchester United's successful [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League]] campaign. He also scored the first penalty in the shoot-out against Chelsea in the [[2008 UEFA Champions League Final|final]], which Manchester United won 6–5 after the match had ended 1–1 after extra time.<ref>{{cite news |title=Man Utd earn dramatic Euro glory |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7406252.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=22 May 2008 |access-date=14 January 2011 }}</ref>

Tevez scored his first league goal of the [[2008–09 FA Premier League|2008–09 season]] on 13 September 2008 in a 2–1 away defeat to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], and his first [[hat-trick]] came on 3 December 2008, when he scored a quartet of goals in United's 5–3 [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] win over [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] in the fifth round.<ref>{{cite news |title=Man Utd 5–3 Blackburn |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/7749882.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=3 December 2008 |access-date=3 December 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/7764043.stm |title=Hero Tevez hails four-goal salvo |publisher=BBC Sport |date=3 December 2008 |access-date=3 December 2008}}</ref> His first [[UEFA Champions League]] goal of the season, against [[AaB Fodbold|Aalborg BK]] on 10 December, was the fastest goal scored in the tournament for 2008–09 at two minutes and 41 seconds.<ref>{{cite news |first=Phil |last=McNulty |title=Man Utd 2–2 Aalborg |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/7763234.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=10 December 2008 |access-date=11 December 2008}}</ref>

On 21 December, Tevez started for United in the [[2008 FIFA Club World Cup Final]], which United won 1–0 over Ecuadorean club [[LDU Quito]], but he was substituted in the 51st minute for [[Jonny Evans]] after [[Nemanja Vidić]] was sent off.

On 10 May 2009, Tevez was reported as saying that he believed his time at Manchester United would come to an end that summer and he expressed his dissatisfaction at not having been offered a permanent contract with the club and having been dropped from the team despite, in his opinion, not having played badly. Despite this outburst, Tevez was named in Manchester United's starting 11 for the [[Manchester derby|derby]] match against [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] later that day, before scoring the second of United's two goals on the stroke of half-time, which prompted chants of "Fergie, sign him up" from some of the club's fans. After the match, Ferguson refused to be drawn on the subject of Tevez's future with the club, saying, "I didn't read any of the papers. He's a Manchester United player."<ref>{{cite news |title=Ferguson quiet over Tévez future |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8042344.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=10 May 2009 |access-date=10 May 2009}}</ref>

The following match for Manchester United was away at Wigan. Tevez did not start the match, but came off the bench on 58 minutes and scored the equaliser three minutes later with a flamboyant back-heeled finish. His introduction immediately improved the team's play and [[Michael Carrick]] scored the winner on 86 minutes. After the game, to the relief of most United fans, Ferguson announced the club had commenced talks to sign Tevez on a permanent deal. Tevez started the next match against [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], but was substituted by [[Park Ji-sung]] in the 66th minute. As he left the field, the Manchester United supporters applauded him in what would be his last match at [[Old Trafford]] for United. United chief executive [[David Gill (executive)|David Gill]] suggested that Tevez's future would be resolved by early June 2009.<ref>{{cite news |title=Tévez saga tipped to end in June |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8054141.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 May 2009 |access-date=19 May 2009}}</ref> Although United agreed to meet the option fee of £25.5&nbsp;million and offered Tevez a five-year contract that would have made him one of the club's top earners, Tevez's advisors informed the club he no longer wished to play for Manchester United. Nevertheless, reports also emerged that Tevez had ruled out signing for Liverpool, given the implications of a Manchester United player moving to join their [[Liverpool F.C. and Manchester United F.C. rivalry|north-west rivals]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Man Utd announce Tevez departure |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8110740.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=20 June 2009 |access-date=20 June 2009}}</ref>

===Goal celebrations===
Tevez was known for his dancing goal celebrations ever since playing for Boca Juniors, as well with Corinthians of Brazil.
