Carlos Bianchi and Sebastián Battaglia are many champions in Boca.
Boca is living in turbulent days due to its irregular walk to the Professional League Cup and the Copa Libertadores. At these times, almost all the attention is focused on the match that the team led by Sebastián Battaglia will play tonight against the Corinthians in San Pablo. However, as of every April 26, the club has not missed one of its heroes who is now 73 years old: Carlos Bianchi.
“Happy birthday, Viceroy”, is the simple message chosen by the institution to accompany the 31-second video published on its accounts on various social networks. The compilation, where photos are accompanied by background music and songs from xeneize fans, reviews some of the emblematic moments in the career of the most successful coach in Boca history.
In one of the selected fragments, Bianchi can be seen kissing a young man Sebastian Battaglia Wearing club attire. At a time when the current coach is surfing a sea of questions about the team’s performance (and results), there is no shortage of readers choosing that image as a tribute for DT.
Although at this time many Boca supporters are looking forward to Bianchi’s glory years and dreaming of seeing him on the bench again, the Viceroy seems to definitely stay away from DT’s work. Far from his last experience, which was definitely his third cycle at the Ribera club and ended on August 28, 2014 by decision of the Board of Directors then headed by Daniel Angelici.
In the three seasons in which he worked at Boca (1998-2001, 2003-2004 and 2013-2014), he led the team to 349 games, in which he got 181 wins, 97 draws and 71 losses, and raised nine trophies, among them three Libertadores Cups (2000, 2001 and 2003) and two Intercontinental Cups (200 and 2003).
In addition, the former forward of the Argentina national team also led Vélez (where he won six titles, including the only Libertadores and the only Intercontinental in the history of defense), Rome, Atlético de Madrid, Nice and Stade de Reims.
