Argélico Fuchs (born Argélico Fucks;[2] 4 September 1974) is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player. He is the current head coach of Paraná.

His professional career as a central defender spanned 15 years, during which he was mainly associated with Benfica and Internacional. He also played in Japan, Spain and China, and appeared in one international match for Brazil.

Fuchs started working as a coach in 2008, going on to be in charge of more than 20 clubs.

Club career

[edit]

Known simply as Argel as a player, he was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul. He began his career with Internacional, Santos and Palmeiras, with a brief stint in Japan in between and an unsuccessful spell at Portugal's Porto, which finished after a serious run-in with the board of directors and prompted his Brazil return.[3]

In early June 2001, Argel returned to Portugal with Benfica,[4][5] which he helped win the Primeira Liga in his fourth season and the domestic supercup, the former after an 11-year drought.[6] The player contributed to this feat with ten matches and one goal.[7]

After falling down the pecking order at Benfica, Argel had a six-month stay at Racing de Santander,[8] going on to retire in 2007 after representing Cruzeiro, Canoas and Chinese club Zhejiang Lucheng.

International career

[edit]

Argel represented Brazil at under-20 level, winning both the South American Youth Championship[9][10] and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.[11] On 29 March 1995 he earned his only cap for the full side, appearing in a friendly against Honduras.[12]

Coaching career

[edit]
Argel as head coach of Internacional in 2016

Argel's coaching career began when he was hired as Guaratinguetá's head coach on 8 February 2008,[13] being sacked exactly one year later.[14] Three days later, he was hired by Caxias.[15]

On 2 June 2009, Argel was hired by Campinense in the same capacity, replacing Fernando Teixeira.[16] On 9 April of the following year, he signed for Criciúma.[17]

Argel was announced as coach of former club Internacional on 13 August 2015, after leaving Figueirense which he had already managed in two separate spells.[18] He was fired on 11 July after six games without a win,[19] but hours later he returned to Figueirense.[20]

On 13 September 2016, Argel was named head coach of Vitória.[21][22] The following 1 May, after elimination from the Copa do Nordeste against Bahia and the massive brawl that ensued, he was sacked.[23] This was his tenth dismissal in the decade – three alone in 2011 – while he had also resigned from seven jobs; only at Figueirense did he complete a full year in charge of a team.[24]

After rejoining Criciúma, Argel was dismissed in May 2018.[25] In September, he was announced as the new head coach of fellow Série B team Coritiba,[26] being relieved of his duties on 16 February 2019 after being knocked out of the Copa do Brasil.[27]

On 2 July 2019, Argel replaced Marcelo Cabo at the helm of first division newcomers CSA.[28] On 28 November, he took over fellow top-tier side Ceará in the place of fired Adílson Batista,[29] but was dismissed the following 9 February.[30]

Argel returned to CSA on 31 August 2020, but was fired after only 18 days in charge.[31] In October 2021, following a second spell at Botafogo de Ribeirão Preto, he returned to Portugal 17 years after leaving to take charge of third-division club Alverca.[32]

On 19 March 2023, Fuchs returned to Brazil after being named at Chapecoense in the second tier.[33] On 29 May, he was dismissed,[34] and took over fellow league team ABC on 3 September.[35]

Argel left ABC on 22 November 2023, before the last match of the season, with the club already relegated.[36] On 16 February 2024, he returned to Caxias for a third spell,[37] but was dismissed on 27 June.[38]

Surname

[edit]

Some of Argel's fame stemmed from his prior surname, which coincided with a form of the English word "fuck". This led to some double entendre headlines, including one from Eurosport.com titled "Fucks off to Benfica";[39] this headline received press coverage itself with The Register calling it "snappy and eye-catching", and football humour site Laugh FC deeming it "one of the all time greats".[40]

In 2020, the spelling was changed to "Fuchs", and Argel explained that the previous spelling was the result of an error by the registry, and that his name was always supposed to have been Fuchs.[2]
