'''Pedro Antonio Troglio''' (born 28 July 1965) is an Argentine [[association football|football]] manager and former player who played as a [[midfielder]]. He is the current manager of [[Club Atlético Banfield|Banfield]].

== Playing career ==
During his career as a footballer, Troglio played for [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]], as well as at the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] with [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], where he scored a goal against the [[USSR national football team|USSR]].

He then spent the main part of his career in Italy, playing four seasons in [[Serie A]] (for [[Hellas Verona F.C.|Hellas Verona]], [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] and [[Ascoli Calcio 1898|Ascoli]]) and two in [[Serie B]].

During the final years of his career, Troglio played for [[Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata]] and [[Villa Dálmine]] (a fourth division team where he played alongside fellow veterans [[José Basualdo]], [[Roberto Monserrat]], [[Mario Pobersnik]] and [[Raúl Cardozo|Raúl "Pacha" Cardozo]]).

==Coaching career==
Troglio then went on to coach [[Godoy Cruz de Mendoza]] in [[Primera B Nacional]] but he left in the middle of the tournament to take on in March 2005 a demoralized Gimnasia and helped keep the team in the [[Argentine Primera División|Primera]].<ref>[http://www.terra.es/deportes/articulo/html/dpo85105.htm Troglio takes over management of Gimnasia.]</ref> The next season, he led them to 2nd place in the [[Apertura]] tournament, equalling their highest finish ever.

In June 2006 his #21 jersey was retired in [[Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata]], being this the first number ever retired in an Argentine football club.

After the successful 2005 campaign, Gimnasia has performance declined markedly. Following a series of defeats in national and international competitions, including a 7:0 derby defeat to [[Estudiantes de La Plata]], Troglio resigned in April 2007, and was temporarily replaced with former aide [[Ricardo Kuzemka]]. Nevertheless, Troglio's status with fans did not deteriorate strongly, with most press articles blaming club president [[Juan José Muñoz]] on the poor performances of the team.

In 2007, after [[Jorge Burruchaga]]'s departure of [[Club Atlético Independiente|Independiente]], Troglio was hired to manage this institution. In March 2008, after an erratic season start, Troglio was sacked and replaced by Miguel Angel Santoro.

In 2009, he won the campeonato Apertura with Cerro Porteño. On 30 May 2010 [[Argentinos Juniors]] hired the former [[Cerro Porteno]] coach to replace [[Claudio Borghi (football manager)|Claudio Borghi]].<ref>[http://www.argentinosjuniors.com.ar/noticia_detalle.php?id=412&estilo=2 Troglio será el técnico] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013054443/http://www.argentinosjuniors.com.ar/noticia_detalle.php?id=412&estilo=2 |date=2016-10-13 }} {{in lang|es}}</ref>

He stepped down as manager of Argentinos on 18 September 2011 after a bad start to the [[2011–12 Argentine Primera División season#Torneo Apertura|2011–12 Apertura]].<ref>[http://www.argentinosjuniors.com.ar/noticia_detalle.php?id=1063&estilo=2 El adiós de Pedro] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013054059/http://www.argentinosjuniors.com.ar/noticia_detalle.php?id=1063&estilo=2 |date=2016-10-13 }} {{in lang|es}}</ref>

In 2019 he agreed to move to Honduras to manage [[CD Olimpia]], the club with most titles in the country. He arrived to a team experiencing a 6-tournament drought, having won their last title in the [[2015–16 Honduran Liga Nacional#Clausura|2015–16 Clausura]]. In 2019 Pedro and his team won the [[2019-20 Honduran Liga Nacional#Apertura|2019–20 Clausura]], ending a three-and-a-half-year stretch without winning the cup.

On June 2, 2022, he re-signed with former club [[C.D. Olimpia|CD Olimpia]] after a short period with Argentine club [[San Lorenzo de Almagro|San Lorenzo]].
