Timeline
Jorge Alberto Francisco Valdano Castellanos (born 4 October 1955) is an Argentine former football player, coach, and the former general manager of Real Madrid.
He is currently working as a commentator for beIN Sports.
Nicknamed "The Philosopher of Football", he played as a forward.
Valdano started playing when he was 16 years old for Rosario's club Newell's Old Boys, where he also started playing professionally, as well as with the Argentina national football team, in 1972.
With the Argentina national team, Valdano took part at the 1975 Copa América as well as the 1982 and 1986 FIFA World Cups, the latter of which Argentina won.
In total, he earned 23 caps for his nation between 1975 and 1990, scoring seven goals.
Although he initially played for Newell's Old Boys, Alavés and Real Zaragoza, his most successful period at club level was at Real Madrid, where he won La Liga twice, the Copa de la Liga and two UEFA Cups.
As a manager, he coached Spanish sides Tenerife, Real Madrid and Valencia.
In 1975, he was transferred to Alavés of the Spanish Segunda División, where he played until 1979.
Valdano played 23 times for the Argentina national team between 1975 and 1990, scoring seven goals, four of them in the 1986 FIFA World Cup, including one against West Germany in the final, which Argentina went on to win.
In that year, he moved to Real Zaragoza of the Primera División, and then to Real Madrid in 1984, playing with the Quinta del Buitre.
He helped them win the UEFA Cup in 1985 and 1986, scoring once in the 1985 final and twice in the 1986 final.
He had a major influence in the 1986 win, scoring four goals in the tournament, including Argentina's second goal against West Germany in the final.
Other than the 1986 triumph, he also took part in the 1975 Copa América and the 1982 World Cup, but missed most of the latter tournament after being injured in Argentina's second game, against Hungary.
Valdano began his management career as the Real Madrid youth team coach.
Stricken by hepatitis, he decided to retire in 1988 and became a sports commentator.
He helped Tenerife avoid relegation at the end of 1991–92, and then the following season helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup.
He also twice led Tenerife to final day victories that denied his former club Real Madrid winning the La Liga title (Barcelona winning it instead on both occasions).
In April 1992, just before the end of the 1991–92 season, he became head coach of Tenerife, replacing fellow Argentinian Jorge Solari.
He then returned to Real Madrid in 1994, now as a coach, and led them to the 1994–95 Liga title.
He finally coached Valencia in 1996–97 before becoming Real Madrid's sporting director until his resignation in June 2005.
In June 2009, he again returned to Real Madrid as director general and presidential aide.
He was sacked from the position on 25 May 2011, however, after his relationship with the coaching staff, particularly head coach José Mourinho, had deteriorated.
Valdano wrote the book Sueños de fútbol ("Dreams of football") and edited the book Cuentos de fútbol ("Football short stories") by diverse authors.
Real Madrid's former captain Raúl named his first-born son in honour of Valdano.
Considered a benchmark for the way he addressed various football clubs, Valdano participated in 2013 at the World Leadership Forum and in the World Business Forum in Mexico City, where he associated the world of sports and business behind it, where he listed the 11 powers of leadership, based on his last book.
