Carlos Alberto Lacoste (1929 – 2004) was a navy vice-admiral who briefly served as interim de facto President of Argentina from December 11 to December 22, 1981, during a period of military rule. Before that, he undertook the organization of the 1978 Football World Cup. He was succeeded in the presidential office by Lieutenant General Leopoldo Galtieri. After the military government, he preserved his connections with football associations, becoming a South American representative in FIFA, and in 1986 he was assigned as Argentinian supervisor in the drawing of the Mexico World Cup's matches.
