[edit] Career

Bianchi was top goalscorer of the French league for five years, and scored 385 goals in 546 first division matches (in Argentina and France).

As a coach, he obtained 7 Argentine league titles and 8 international titles. He is also Boca Juniors' most successful coach with 8 titles overall. Nevertheless, he has never been able to reproduce with an important European team the successes he had in Argentina. He coached AS Roma in 1996 and Atlético Madrid in 2005, but in both cases he had to leave before finishing a complete season due to poor results.

As of 2006, he's 13th in the list of World most successful Top Division Goal Scorers of all time, and was chosen as World best Club Coach in 2000 and 2003 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
