Farewell to Willington, idol of Talleres and Argentine soccer
Willington was born on September 1, 1942, in Santa Fe and arrived in Córdoba as a child. He made his debut for Talleres at just 16 years old, where he quickly won the affection of the people for his exquisite technique, personality, and love for the club.
La historia de Willington quedó ligada para siempre a Talleres, tanto como jugador como entrenador del ascenso a Primera en 1994.
His career also took him to Huracán, Veracruz of Mexico, and Instituto, where he shared the squad with Osvaldo Ardiles and Mario Kempes.
However, his story became forever linked to the club from Barrio Jardín, both as a player and as the coach who led the team to promotion to Primera in 1994.
Willington was recognized during his lifetime as one of the greatest legends of Córdoba soccer.
In fact, one of the stands at Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium bears his name, in tribute to his career and his indelible legacy.
