Argélico Fucks (born 4 September 1974), commonly known as Argel, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.
Playing career
Club
Argel was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul. He began his career with Sport Club Internacional, Santos FC and Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, with a brief stint in Japan in between and an unsuccessful spell at Portugal's FC Porto, which finished after a serious run-in with the board of directors and prompted his Brazil return.[1]
In early June 2001, Argel returned to Portugal with S.L. Benfica,[2][3] which he helped win the Primeira Liga in his fourth season and the domestic supercup, the former after an 11-year drought.[4] The player contributed to this feat with ten matches and one goal.[5]
After falling down the pecking order at Benfica, Argel had a six-month stay at Racing de Santander,[6] going on to retire in 2007 after representing Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, Canoas Sport Club and Chinese club Zhejiang Lucheng FC.
International
Argel represented Brazil at under-20 level, winning both the South American Youth Championship and the FIFA U-20 World Cup.[7] On 29 March 1995 he earned his only cap for the full side, appearing in a friendly against Honduras.[8]
Coaching career
Argel's managerial career began when he was hired as Guaratinguetá Futebol's head coach on 8 February 2008,[9] being sacked exactly one year later.[10] Three days later, he was hired by Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul.[11]
On 2 June 2009, Argel was hired by Campinense Clube in the same capacity, replacing Fernando Teixeira.[12] On 9 April of the following year, he signed for Criciúma Esporte Clube.[13]
Argel was announced as coach of former club Internacional on 13 August 2015, after leaving Figueirense FC which he had already managed on two separate spells.[14] He was fired on 11 July after six games without a win,[15] but hours later he returned to Figueirense.[16]
On 13 September 2016, Argel was named head coach of Esporte Clube Vitória.[17][18] The following 1 May, after elimination from the Copa do Nordeste against Esporte Clube Bahia and the massive brawl that ensued, he was sacked.[19] 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.[20]
After rejoining Criciúma, Argel was dismissed in May 2018.[21] In September, he was announced as the new manager of fellow Série B team Coritiba Foot Ball Club,[22] being relieved of his duties on 16 February 2019 after being knocked out of the Copa do Brasil.[23]
On 2 July 2019, Argel replaced Marcelo Cabo at the helm of first division newcomers Centro Sportivo Alagoano.[24] On 28 November, he took over fellow top-tier side Ceará Sporting Club in the place of fired Adílson Batista,[25] but was dismissed the following 9 February.[26]
Surname
Some of Argel's fame stemmed from his 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".[27] 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".[28]
