Luis Galvan, who played in every match in Argentina's 1978 World Cup winning campaign, died on Monday aged 77, the Argentinian Football Association (AFA) announced.
He is best remembered for leading Argentina to the 1978 World Cup and the under-20 title the following year and for his commitment to a romantic ideal of football at a time when Argentina had developed a reputation for a cynical approach straying into violence.
Cesar Luis Menotti, who famously coached Argentina to their first World Cup triumph in 1978, has died at the age of 85, the country's football federation (AFA) announced Sunday.
