Miguel Ángel Giachello (born 12 August 1950) is an Argentine retired footballer. Nicknamed "Che", he played for various clubs throughout his career, notably playing for Independiente, Chacarita Juniors and Unión de Santa Fe. He would also play abroad in Spain for San Andrés for the 1976–77 Segunda División.

Career

Giachello began his career by making his debut with Independiente in 1969 at the age of only 18 against Gimnasia de La Plata which would end in a 3–2 loss. He would play for the club until 1973 after a brief interlude with Estudiantes in 1972. He would describe his tenure with the club as being initially intimidating due to playing with several stars of the club such as Ricardo Pavoni, Miguel Ángel Santoro, Héctor Yazalde and Aníbal Tarabini but later learnt the emphasis on teamwork and collaboration within the club's functions. He would gain enough prominence in the club to where he was selected to play in the 1973 Copa Libertadores finals against Colo-Colo. Initially, the two teams would only end their matches in draws to where a third match had to be played to determine the winner of the tournament. The third match appeared to be no different as it had to be dragged into extra time. Giachello would then score the determining goal at the 107th mark, scoring one of the most important goals of the club's history as Independiente would earn their second title in a row. He would also be part of the main offensive formation with the club alongside Hugo Salomón Abdala and Dante Mírcoli.

Following his success with the club, he was later sold to Chacarita Juniors. He would play for the club in the 1973 and the 1974 Argentine Primera División with his debut match being on 21 October 1973 in a 1–3 defeat against Atlanta. He later briefly played for Newell's Old Boys to play in the 1975 Argentine Primera División before later playing abroad in Spain for San Andrés in the 1976–77 Segunda División where the club would fall victim to relegation by the end of the season. His final seasons would have him return to Argentina to play interchangeably for Unión de Santa Fe and Racing Club de Avellaneda until his retirement in 1981.

Personal life

Miguel Ángel's son, Lucas, is currently a physical education teacher based in Baradero.
