Ramón Ángel Díaz (Spanish pronunciation: [raˈmon ˈaŋxel ˈdi.as]; born 29 August 1959) is an Argentine football manager and former player. He is the current head coach of the Brazilian club Corinthians.

Díaz notably played for River Plate as a striker, and coached the club on three occasions, winning eight titles. He is also known by the nickname of El Pelado ("Baldy").

Club career

[edit]

River Plate

[edit]

Born in La Rioja, Díaz was a youth product of River Plate, being a spotlight under youth manager Norberto Yácono. He made his first team – Primera División – debut on 13 August 1978, starting in a 1–0 win over Colón, as the club used an alternative lineup as the first team regulars were out on a trip to Europe.[1]

Díaz scored his first goal on 30 August 1978, in a 1–1 draw against Quilmes. He went on to become a regular starter for the club, notably scoring 22 league goals in the 1980 season.

Italy

[edit]

In 1982, Díaz moved abroad for the first time in his career, signing for Italian Serie A side Napoli. Despite finishing his first and only season at the club as the top scorer with eight goals overall, Napoli's campaign was disappointing as they finished in the 10th position, only two points away from relegation.

In 1983, Díaz joined Avellino initially on loan, being a regular starter during his three-season spell and scoring 11 goals in the 1985–86 campaign. In July 1986, he moved to Fiorentina for a 10 billion lire fee.[2]

On 21 July 1988, Díaz agreed to a loan deal with Internazionale as a replacement to Rabah Madjer, which had failed his medical.[3] Despite scoring 15 goals overall in the season, being the club's second-best goalscorer (only behind Aldo Serena), he was not purchased by Inter and subsequently replaced by Jürgen Klinsmann.

Monaco, River Plate return and retirement

[edit]

In 1989, Díaz moved to French club Monaco, and won the 1990–91 Coupe de France with the club. In 1991, he returned to his first club River Plate, being the top scorer of the 1991 Apertura Tournament.

At the end of his career, Díaz was the 1993 J.League Top Scorer with Yokohama Marinos in Japan, and he is the all-time top scorer of the Yokohama derby that scoring 8 goals against Yokohama Flügels.[4]

International career

[edit]

Díaz was on the Argentina under-20 team that won the 1979 FIFA World Youth Championship, alongside Diego Maradona. Díaz and Maradona were the core of the attack-minded team, and together scored 14 of the team's 20 goals (70%). Díaz scored 8 goals, winning the Golden Boot for being the top scorer of the competition. Maradona scored 6 goals, winning the Best Player award.

Díaz then went on to play in the 1982 FIFA World Cup and scored against Brazil in Argentina's 3–1 defeat. It had been rumoured that he and Maradona were involved in a feud which prevented Díaz from playing for Argentina in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups. However, this was denied by Maradona in his autobiography Yo soy el Diego, claiming that he had told the then-Argentina manager, Carlos Bilardo, that he wanted Diaz in both the 1986 and 1990 World Cup squads.[4][5]

Managerial career

[edit]

River Plate

[edit]

In 1995, Díaz was named manager of his first club River Plate, replacing sacked Carlos Babington; his intentions at the time were to play for the club before retiring, but president Alfredo Davicce invited him as manager instead. His first match in charge of the club occurred on 26 July, a 1–1 Copa Libertadores draw against Vélez Sarsfield.[6]

Díaz notably won the 1996 Libertadores and the 1997 Supercopa Libertadores with River,[4] aside from four league titles in his first spell. He resigned from the club in February 2000, after a 2–1 friendly loss to rivals Boca Juniors and after having altercations with the club's board.[7]

On 23 June 2001, Díaz agreed to return to River, replacing his successor Américo Gallego.[8] He won another league title (the 2002 Clausura Tournament), but was replaced by Manuel Pellegrini on 20 May 2002, as the club opted to not renew his contract.[9]

Oxford United

[edit]

On 9 December 2004, Díaz replaced Graham Rix as manager of English League Two club Oxford United.[10] At the time, Díaz told the media: "I like English football and I wanted to get first-hand experience of it...I'd seen plenty of it on television... It's also very interesting to work at this level, because it's completely different from football at the top." It was also claimed that neither Díaz nor any of his five backroom staff were being paid by Oxford United for their services.[4]

On 4 May 2005, Díaz resigned from Oxford after "negotiations over a new contract broke down".[11]

San Lorenzo

[edit]

On 24 December 2006, Díaz was appointed head coach of San Lorenzo for the upcoming season.[12] He helped the club lift the 2007 Clausura Tournament title, the club's first title in six years.

Despite qualifying San Lorenzo to the 2008 Copa Libertadores, Díaz's side were knocked out by champions LDU Quito in May, and he resigned from the club on 28 May.[13]

Club América

[edit]

On 15 May 2008, Diaz was confirmed as the new Club América coach. Although the club did not reveal specific details about Diaz' contract,[14] he was reportedly offered 1.5 million dollars per year including performance-related bonuses which could have taken his total earnings to 6 million dollars.[15] Díaz failed to make Club América qualify to Copa Libertadores.

In the start of the Clausura 2009 season, Díaz won against Santos Laguna 2–1, drew against Toluca 2–2, and lost against Morelia 1–0 and Pachuca 3–1. After two consecutive league losses, and the club being in 12th position in the league table, he was dismissed on 10 February 2009.[16]

Return to San Lorenzo

[edit]

On 25 May 2010, it was made official by San Lorenzo president Savino that Díaz was appointed manager for the second time, after agreeing to a one-year contract.[17] After a mid-table campaign in the 2010 Apertura, he resigned on 24 April 2011, stating that he wanted to "fight for the first positions".[18]

Independiente

[edit]

On 12 September 2011, Independiente hired Díaz to replace Antonio Mohamed, who had resigned.[19] On 5 March 2012, he resigned from his position at the club, who had been struggling and found themselves at the very bottom of the table.[20]

Third spell at River Plate

[edit]

On 30 November 2012, Díaz returned to River Plate for his third spell as manager.[21] He won the Torneo Final in 2014, and also won the Superfinal against former side San Lorenzo by 1–0.[22]

On 27 May 2014, Díaz left River Plate.[23]

Paraguay national team

[edit]

On 5 December 2014, Díaz became the manager of the Paraguay national team. He said: "It's one of the biggest challenges of my career... There's a lot of work to do".[24] His first major competition was the 2015 Copa América, with his first match being against Argentina which they drew 2–2. Paraguay subsequently defeated Jamaica 1–0 and drew 1–1 against Uruguay, finishing second in their group.

Paraguay won the quarterfinal against Brazil 1–1 (4–3 on penalties), but lost 6–1 to Argentina in the semifinals which let them go to the third group playoff which they lost 2–0 against Peru which made Paraguay fourth in the Copa América. He was also in charge of the nation in the Copa América Centenario, where Paraguay were eliminated in the group stage, by drawing against Costa Rica and losing to Colombia 2–1 and the US 1–0.

On 12 June 2016, following an unsuccessful run at Copa América Centenario, Díaz resigned as manager of Paraguay.[25]
