Carlos Tevez

Who is Carlos Tevez?

Carlos Alberto Martínez Tevez, better known as Carlos Tevez is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian club Juventus. His energy and goal scoring rate made him an indispensable player for the club in the eyes of fellow players and media alike.

He began his career with Boca Juniors, winning the Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cup in 2003 before moving to Corinthians in what was the biggest transfer by a South American club. Tevez then moved to West Ham United, helping the team remain in the Premier League in his only season, and then won two league titles and the UEFA Champions League with Manchester United. In the 2009 summer transfer window he joined Manchester City, becoming the first player to move between the two rival clubs since Terry Cooke in 1999. After a dispute with manager Roberto Mancini due to allegedly refusing to play, Tevez missed four months of the 2011–12 season, returning to help City win the league title. In 2013, he joined Juventus for an initial €10 million.

His career has been dogged by a long-standing relationship with Media Sports Investment, the company which owned his rights.
