Timeline
Ricardo Antonio La Volpe Guarchoni (born 6 February 1952) is an Argentine former professional footballer and manager.
He is a World Cup-winning goalkeeper who played for most of his career in Argentina and Mexico.
He was the reserve goalkeeper when they won the 1978 FIFA World Cup with Argentina.
Ricardo La Volpe began his career as a coach in the Mexican league in 1989, managing several teams such as Oaxtepec, Puebla, Atlante, Guadalajara, Querétaro, América, Atlas, Toluca, and Monterrey.
Despite mixed results, La Volpe earned a reputation for his offensive style of football.
As club manager at Atlante, the league title was won in the 1992–93 season.
He led Atlante to the 1992–1993 season championship and reached the league final with Atlas in 1999.
In 2002, La Volpe was named coach of the Mexico national team.
He led the team to win the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Also, under his leadership at the 2004 Copa América, Mexico managed to defeat Argentina for the first time in years but lost to Brazil in the quarterfinals.
Mexico was also eliminated at the 2004 Olympic Games after losing to South Korea in the group stage.
Mexico also lost in the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals to Colombia.
As a coach, La Volpe was in charge of both the Mexico and Costa Rica national teams, coaching the former at the 2006 World Cup.
He qualified for the 2006 World Cup, as well as finishing in fourth place at the 2005 Confederations Cup, most notably defeating eventual champions Brazil in the group stage.
With La Volpe at the helm, Mexico reached fourth place in the FIFA World rankings.
At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Mexico finished second in their group, qualifying for the Round of 16 before going out 1–2 in extra time to Argentina.
The Guardian named him Best Coach of the World Cup for his attitude.
After leaving the Mexico national team, he met with Boca Juniors officials on 24 July 2006.
After several weeks of negotiation, it was agreed on 22 August that La Volpe would take over as Boca manager on 15 September, replacing Alfio Basile, who had been selected to manage the Argentina national team.
La Volpe had a bumpy start with Boca Juniors, including a 3–1 loss against arch-rivals River Plate on 8 October.
On 12 October, Boca lost 3–1 to Uruguayan club Nacional on penalty kicks in the Copa Sudamericana, and so were out of the competition.
Boca failed three times to claim the Apertura Championship in the final weeks of the season and then lost a playoff against Estudiantes.
Keeping his word that he would quit if he lost, La Volpe resigned after the match.
Later that year, he became the new Vélez Sársfield manager but did not stay in the job long.
After watching his team suffer bruising defeats by River Plate and Boca Juniors in the Apertura 2007, and his team in 10th place, he resigned as coach.
In 2008, Ricardo La Volpe returned to Mexico as Monterrey's manager.
After several days of speculation, the club's official website finally announced that it was replacing former manager Isaac Mizrahi.
He had a bumpy start and didn't win until his fifth match.
Monterrey finished the season in 8th place and had the league's leading goal scorer, Humberto Suazo.
Monterrey's league would end in the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Santos Laguna after an aggregate score of 3–3.
Fans of Monterrey spoke highly of La Volpe for helping the team reach the playoffs again after two dismal seasons of not qualifying, including a last-place finish during the last tournament.
In the Apertura 2008, the team would have a pretty good start, but ultimately fell apart towards the end of the tournament, placing Monterrey in the bottom of the table, hence not qualifying to the playoffs.
After the disappointing tournament, the team did not offer the money La Volpe was looking for, and he decided to leave the team.
On 28 January 2009, La Volpe signed once again with Atlas.
Fans of the team had been yearning for him to return to the squad, in which many said he had the most success.
The tournament was unsuccessful, with the team failing to qualify for the playoffs and finishing 13th.
On 22 April 2020, in an interview with David Faitelson, he announced his retirement from management.
In Argentina, La Volpe played for Banfield and San Lorenzo.
In Mexico he played for Atlante and Oaxtepec.
La Volpe made eight appearances with Argentina throughout his career.
