Osvaldo Ardiles

Argentine association football player and manager

Osvaldo Ardiles belongs to the record of sport as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Osvaldo Ardiles as Argentine association football player and manager.

Osvaldo Ardiles was born at Bell Ville in 1952. His recorded nationality is Argentina.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as association football player and association football coach.

Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.

Recognition followed: English Football Hall of Fame.

That the work was done from Argentina matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Osvaldo Ardiles is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
