Who is Andrés Guglielminpietro?

Andrés Guglielminpietro, nicknamed Guly, is a former Argentine football player and current manager of Douglas Haig. A midfielder, he has been capped for the Argentina national football team, and represented his country at the Copa América 1999.

His career reached its peak at the Italian club A.C. Milan, where he shared the limelight with some of the game's stars like Paolo Maldini, George Weah and Oliver Bierhoff. Guly scored the winning goal against Perugia that won the 1998/99 Scudetto. His play declined due to injuries and he was transferred to different clubs around the globe, never recovering his top ability. After a short spell back in his youth club Gimnasia in 2005, he retired and was added in June 2007 to the coaching team of cross-town rivals Estudiantes de La Plata, under coach Diego Simeone, with a third former Argentine international, Nelson Vivas, as assistant coach. Guly also took up the same position with the same coaching staff at River Plate. Diego Simeone left Estudiantes de La Plata in December 2007 claiming a supposed lack of the club's commitment to sign appropriate reinforcements for the 2008 Clausura and Copa Libertadores. On 27 February 2014, Guly was named as manager of the Primera B Nacional side Douglas Haig.
