Baissa: a teacher's pursuit of student success
Marcelo Bielsa, the former Argentine coach of the Uruguay national team, was born in Rosario in 1955. He began his football career playing for his neighborhood team before turning professional, but he retired early in 1980 to pursue coaching. He worked with the University of Buenos Aires team and gradually rose to become one of the most prominent managers, benefiting from his relationship with legendary coaching figure Jorge Grifa. He has managed many teams, but he is most known for his unique style in discovering and developing future coaches. Although his competitive record appears limited—achieving a winning percentage of about 46%—he has faced setbacks with both national teams and major clubs. His defeat in the 2026 World Cup with Uruguay led to his exit in the group stage.
