Osvaldo César Ardiles (born 3 August 1952), more commonly known as Ossie Ardiles,{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/feb/13/1 | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Ossie Ardiles | first=Nicky | last=Bandini | date=13 February 2009 | access-date=20 May 2010}} is an Argentine football manager, pundit and former player.

A competitive and skilled midfielder, Ardiles became a cult hero in England, along with Glenn Hoddle and compatriot Ricardo Villa, as a player for Tottenham Hotspur. He left England for a period on loan as a result of the outbreak of the Falklands War in 1982, thus missing most of the 1982–83 English season. He won the 1978 FIFA World Cup as part of the Argentina national team.

After retirement, Ardiles began his management career in England, coaching Swindon Town, Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion, before returning to Tottenham to become the first Premier League manager from Argentina.{{cite news|url=http://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2015-2016/the-rise-and-fall-of-british-or-irish-managers-in-the-premier-league_sto4938537/story.shtml|title=The rise and fall of British or Irish managers in the Premier League|date=5 October 2015|work=Eurosport}} As manager of Spurs in the mid-1990s, he played several matches utilizing a formation that had five forwards,{{citation needed|date=April 2020}} a formation that had not been used in English football since the 1900s.

During his career, Ardiles has also coached in Mexico, Croatia, Japan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Israel, Paraguay and his native Argentina. In Ireland, he is a pundit for RTÉ Sport.{{cite news| url=http://www.irishtimes.com/sports/soccer/2010/0601/1224271637051.html | newspaper=The Irish Times | title=Ardiles joins Bill and the Boys | date=1 June 2010 | access-date=1 June 2010}}

Club career

Ardiles was born in Córdoba, and played for Instituto de Córdoba from a young age.{{harvnb|Ardiles|2009|p=8}} As a youngster, Ardiles played football in the streets and was given the nickname Pitón (python) by his brother because of his snake-like dribbling skills.{{Cite news | last = Allen | first = Matt | title = Ossie Ardiles | periodical = FourFourTwo; One-on-One | publisher = Haymarket Group | pages=12–16 |date=April 2008 }} He was named as El Gráfico{{'}}s best player of the interior in 1974, and abandoned his law degree studies in order to play professional football.{{harvnb|Ardiles|2009|p=13}}

He also played for Club Atlético Belgrano and Huracán. After the 1978 World Cup he moved to England to play for Tottenham Hotspur where he spent ten seasons.

He helped Tottenham win the FA Cup in his third season there (1980–81), and collaborated with pop duo Chas & Dave as well as the rest of the Tottenham players for a song, "Ossie's Dream". He played a big part in another FA Cup triumph the following year, but did not play in the final because it had already been arranged with Spurs’ management that he would leave early to join up with Argentina's 1982 World Cup squad.

In the wake of the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina it became difficult for him to return to White Hart Lane and he went on loan to Paris Saint-Germain in France. After one season in Paris, he returned to Tottenham, helping the club to win the UEFA Cup in 1984 (coming on as a substitute in the second leg of the final). In the autumn of 1987, he was caretaker coach under caretaker manager Doug Livermore of Tottenham between the resignation of David Pleat and the appointment of Terry Venables.Note: Ardiles asserts in his autobiography that he was caretaker manager between Pleat and Venables. This is incorrect. See List of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. managers and references there. Ardiles left Spurs in 1988.

He then played for Blackburn Rovers, Queens Park Rangers and Swindon Town, before being appointed as manager of Swindon Town in July 1989. He played part of the 1989 American Soccer League season with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

On 7 February 2008, Ardiles, along with his fellow countryman Ricardo Villa, was inducted into the Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame.{{cite web|url=http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/halloffame080108.html |title=Hall of Fame|publisher=Tottenhamhotspur.com |access-date=29 June 2010}}

International career

Ardiles was called up to the Argentina senior team by manager César Luis Menotti in 1975. He was a member of the World Cup winning squad in 1978.{{harvnb|Ardiles|2009|p=6}} At the 1982 World Cup he wore the number 1 shirt, as Argentina's policy at the time was to number their players alphabetically by surname, with an exception made so Diego Maradona could wear his preferred number 10.{{cite news|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/storie/12-08-2017/88-buffon-44gatti-1-ardiles-storia-numeri-pazzi/centrocampista-numero-1.shtml|title=L'88 di Buffon, il "44Gatti" e l'1 di Ardiles: storia dei numeri pazzi|newspaper=La Gazzetta dello Sport|language=it|first=Martina|last=Mazzaro|date=13 August 2017|access-date=23 August 2017}}

Management career

File:Oswaldo Ardiles.jpg

In July 1989, Ardiles moved into football management with second division Swindon Town when Lou Macari resigned to join West Ham in July 1989. He wowed fans by replacing the long ball style which had been so successful with a new "Samba style", which saw the Town playing attacking football. Part of this change was the new "diamond formation" which Ardiles implemented: a 4–4–2 style with left-sided, right-sided, attacking and defensive midfielders.

Ten months after he had joined, Ardiles led Swindon to their highest ever league position, finishing fourth in the second division. After beating Blackburn in the first leg of the play-off semi-final, the fans paid tribute with a tickertape reception in the second leg. Swindon went on to win promotion to the top flight for the first time in their history—beating Sunderland in the Play-off final—only to have the promotion taken from them ten days later, when the Football League demoted them for irregular payments to players.

The following season, Ardiles was told to sell players to keep the club alive and Wembley hero Alan McLoughlin was the first big-money departure. With Swindon rocked by their pre-season troubles, their form deserted them. By the end of February, relegation threatened, and when Newcastle offered Ardiles the chance to become their new boss, he accepted, becoming the club's first foreign manager. But his time on Tyneside was not a success and he lasted 12 months in the job before being sacked, with the Magpies bottom of the second division, though they achieved safety under his successor Kevin Keegan.

In June 1992, Ardiles replaced Bobby Gould as manager of West Bromwich Albion, who had just missed out on the third division playoffs in 1991–92. At the end of the 1992–93 season, Ardiles guided Albion to victory over Port Vale in the Division Two playoff final. Shortly afterwards he walked out of the Hawthorns to return his former club Tottenham as manager, but his management spell was nowhere near as successful as his spell as a player. Tottenham finished 15th in the Premiership and despite the expensive acquisition of Jürgen Klinsmann and Ilie Dumitrescu in the 1994 close season, Ardiles was sacked in October 1994 with Tottenham languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League. They had just been punished for financial irregularities committed during the late 1980s: with a 1-year FA Cup ban, £600,000 fine and 12 league points deducted. The punishment was later amended to a £1.5million fine and six points deducted but the FA Cup ban and points deduction were later quashed.

Ardiles became coach of J. League Division 1 side Yokohama F. Marinos in January 2000, but was sacked in June 2001, following a poor start to the season.{{cite news | title = Ardiles axed as Yokohama coach | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/1366135.stm | work = BBC Sport | date = 2 June 2001| access-date = 19 January 2008}} From 2003 to 2005 he coached Tokyo Verdy, with whom he won the 2004 Emperor's Cup, In July 2005 Ardiles was fired after a nine-game winless streak.{{cite news | title = Ardiles sacked by Japanese side | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4695923.stm | work = BBC Sport | date = 19 July 2005 | access-date = 19 January 2008}} In mid-2006, he moved to Israel to coach Beitar Jerusalem, though he quit after only a few months in charge on 18 October 2006, due to severe differences of opinion with the club's board of directors. After a short break he was appointed Club Atlético Huracán manager, in his native Argentina, in September 2007; he steered the club to 7th in the table before resigning at the end of the Apertura 2007.

He joined Paraguayan club Cerro Porteño in May 2008[http://www.geofutbol.com/2008/04/29/osvaldo-ardiles-dirigira-a-cerro-porteno/ Osvaldo Ardiles will lead to Cerro Porteño] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081203161124/http://www.geofutbol.com/2008/04/29/osvaldo-ardiles-dirigira-a-cerro-porteno/ |date=3 December 2008 }} but was sacked in August of the same year after a string of poor results and was replaced by Pedro Troglio.{{Cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1700/paraguay/2008/08/12/816095/cerro-porteno-fire-ossie-ardiles|title=Cerro Porteno Fire Ossie Ardiles {{!}} Goal.com|website=www.goal.com|language=en|access-date=11 December 2018}}

Ardiles played Carlos Rey in the 1981 World War II film Escape to Victory.

Personal life

He married fellow Argentine Silvia Navarro in December 1973.{{harvnb|Ardiles|2009|p=12}} Ardiles' cousin, José, was killed during the first Argentine bombing raid of the Falklands War on 1 May 1982.{{cite book |last1=Domeneghetti |first1=Roger |title=Everybody Wants To Rule The World: Britain, Sport & The 1980s |date=4 May 2023 |publisher=Yellow Jersey Press |isbn=9781787290594 |page=226}}

Ardiles son, Pablo, was at one time a player and manager of Hertford Town.{{cite web| url=https://www.whtimes.co.uk/sport/22303919.shock-former-welwyn-garden-city-star-ardiles-leaves-hertford-town-hotseat/| title=Shock as former Welwyn Garden City star Ardiles leaves Hertford Town hotseat| publisher=Welwyn Hatfield Times| date=26 November 2009| access-date=7 February 2025}}{{cite web| url=https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news-archive-1/legends-lose-out-1/| title=Legends lose out| work=Tottenham Hotspur| date=18 July 2010| access-date=7 February 2025}}

In January 2014, Ardiles and Ricardo Villa were involved in a car crash in the Falkland Islands during the filming of Camilo Antolini's 30 for 30 documentary White, Blue and White.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/275733.html|title=Ardiles and Villa unhurt after Falklands crash - ESPN.co.uk|date=21 January 2014|work=ESPN UK|access-date=4 July 2014|archive-date=14 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714164007/http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/275733.html|url-status=dead}} Ardiles sustained minor injuries in the accident, and required more than 20 stitches in his head.{{cite web|url = https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25823043|title=Ossie Ardiles involved in car accident in Falkland Islands|date=21 January 2014|work=BBC Sport|access-date=22 January 2014}}
