Argel Fuchs

Argélico Fuchs (born Argélico Fucks; 4 September 1974) is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a central defender, currently a head coach.

His professional career 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 25 clubs.

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.

In early June 2001, Argel returned to Portugal with Benfica, which he helped win the Primeira Liga in his fourth season and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, the former after an 11-year drought. The player contributed to this feat with ten matches and one goal.

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

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

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