About whom we are talking?
We are referring to Pedro Troglio, who was in charge of Universitario de Deportes from the 2017 season, and was later dismissed due to the economic crisis of the Peruvian club after a year.
Revelations from Troglio's playing days
During an interview with the program F90 on the ESPN network, conducted by renowned journalist Sebastián Vignolo, the former coach of Universitario de Deportes revealed passages from his playing days and surprised by confessing that Óscar Ruggeri made his life impossible when both were defending the River Plate jersey.
Ruggeri and Troglio at River Plate
The popular 'Rulo' coincided with Óscar Ruggeri at River Plate in 1986, where they won almost all the titles (Campeonato de Primera División, Copa Libertadores, and Copa Intercontinental).
Unforgettable moments
Both former footballers shared unforgettable moments and curious anecdotes in that golden era of 'Millonario'.
Pranks and retaliation
"I had just had surgery for peritonitis, and the more experienced players in the squad (including Ruggeri) would hit me in the back during training. Then my group of younger players on the squad would go and leave them 'prizes' in their beds," Troglio revealed in an interview with F90.
Armed threats
"They would come all hooded at two in the morning and point real weapons at us in bed while we were sleeping," said the former Universitario de Deportes coach.
