Eduardo Vincente Gallardo (born 20th April, 1969 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine handball coach, who has coached both the Argentina men's and Argentina women's national team.[1]
Coaching career
He started his coaching career at Club Atlético River Plate in 1988, and coached them for 19 years, winning more than 50 titles.[2] He then went on to coach Argentina youth national teams.[2] At the 2007 U19 World Championship he lead the team to the semifinal, where they lost to eventual champions Denmark. At the 2009 U21 World Championship he finished 6th with the Argentine team.[2]

At the 2015 Pan American Games, he won a silver medal, losing to Brazil in the final.[5] This also meant that Argentina had qualified the team for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, as Brazil had already qualified as the host.
At the 2016 Olympics, Argentina finished 10th out of 12.[6]
He also lead the team to 5 IHF World Championships,[7] At the 2011 World Championship, he led the team to a 12th place, which was the best result of any non-European team.
