The Boca idol born in “Fuerte Apache”, Ciudadela, on February 5, 1984, played for the last time with the Boca jersey a year ago and then left the club, with the possibility of playing in foreign teams, especially from the MLS, the American league, although in the end it did not accept any proposal.
“My last year playing was very hard because my dad (Segundo Tevez) was hospitalized and was brain dead. One day I got up and told my wife (Vanesa Mansilla) that I was not playing anymore. Then I called my representative (Adrián ( Ruocco) to advance my retirement and later to Riquelme to explain that I would hold a conference to say that I was leaving Boca,” the former striker said in the television interview.
“I stopped playing because I lost my number one fan, my old man. I was eight years old when I started and the one who came to see me was him. When he passed away I told myself why else, why continue. I got up and said I don’t play for anyone anymore, it was the only time I thought of myself,” added the idol from Boca.
Tevez completed a brilliant career in which he stood out not only with the Boca shirt, but was champion in almost all the clubs in which he played.
He debuted when he was just 17 years old, on October 21, 2001, in a match against Talleres, in Córdoba, by decision of DT Carlos Bianchi.
In Boca he left an indelible mark in the three stages he was at the club (2001-2004; 2015-2016 and 2017-2021), in which he completed 279 games, 94 goals and 11 titles.
After Boca, he wore the shirts of Corinthians, West Ham United, Manchester United, Manchester City, Juventus, again Boca, a fleeting stint at Shanghai Shenhua in China, and again Boca.
With the shirt of the Argentine national team he played the World Cups in Germany 2006 and South Africa 2010, on both occasions the “albicelestes” reached the quarterfinals, and he was also South American U-20 champion in 2003 in Montevideo and Olympic Gold in the Games of Athens 2004.
“I want to be a coach, I feel like I’m here to manage. A few months ago I’ve been preparing, I’m working with “Chapa” Retegui, we have a project together and I dream of managing Boca, it’s giving me that tingling just like when I played, that’s why I am sure of what I want to do”, revealed Tevez.
The soccer player, who won the Libertadores and Intercontinental Cups with Boca, and also won the European Champions League and the Club World Cup with Manchester United, is preparing to start his career as coach with Carlos Retegui, former coach of Las Leonas and Los Leones, currently Undersecretary of Sports of the City of Buenos Aires.
Among other individual achievements to highlight in Tevez’s brilliant career, it stands out that he is the fourth Argentine with the most titles (30), behind Lionel Messi (40), Angel Di María (32) and Luis “Lucho” González (31). .
In addition, in Boca he was tenth among the club’s historical scorers with 94 annotations, in an area led by Martín Palermo, with 236.
