The Pole entered at the end to replace Daniel Bertoni.
In Independiente, he totaled 265 games, with five goals, while he also wore the Argentine National Team shirt for nine games in 1972.
“Firm and confident on the mark, he favored combativeness although many times, due to his good touch and anticipation, he played as a midfielder”described it a few years ago by the Olé Sports Newspaper Guide.
He also had a stint at Atlético Cipolletti, from Río Negro, while as a coach he served at Deportivo Morón (1982-83), Villa Dálmine (1990-93) and Godoy Cruz de Mendoza (1997/98).
