Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Another figure in football passed away two days ago, the manager who took Argentina to the world Cup final 2014(bossing the world Cup qualifiers in the process) and having them play the best they ever did during the Messi era. Also played for Leeds at one point if I'm not mistaken @Lucas R.I.P el profesor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,266 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Probably the best manager Argentina had for quite a while too. They were unstoppable circa 2011-2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabella also lead Estudiantes de la Plata to a Libertadores title in 2009 and his team almost beat Guardiola´s Barcelona at its peak. A great football mind.

Yeah that was a great game as far as club world Cup finals go. It went to extra time with Messi scoring the winner for Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a bit of flair about him. But what about this for a picture in terms of a Leeds connection. Sabella, playing for River Plate, taking on a young Marcelo Bielsa, playing for Newell's Old Boys in '76. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 5,100 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Strange that the AFA didn't continue with him past 2014 but I suppose it's good for him that he avoided that dreadful 2018 campaign. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an excellent manager though and a very intelligent man as well. R.I.P. Alejandro Sabella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
