Juan Carlos Nawacki Semeñuck (8 October 1931 – 15 February 2011), sometimes referred as Juan Nakwacki or Juan Nawacky, was an Argentine football forward and manager.

Playing career

Nawacki was trained at Ferro Carril Oeste and Argentinos Juniors.[1] At professional level, he spent seasons with Argentinos Juniors and Independiente in his homeland.[2]

Nawacki helped Argentinos Juniors to win the 1955 Primera B Metropolitana and Independiente to win the 1960 Argentine Primera División.[1][2]

In the second half of 1960, Nawacki was transferred to Chilean club Universidad Católica, coinciding with his fellow Ricardo Trigilli.[1] They won the 1961 Primera División,[3][4] the third league title for the club, and took part in the 1962 Copa Libertadores.[5] A player for them until 1964, he also had a stint with O'Higgins in 1963.[6][7]

Following Universidad Católica, Nawacki moved to Colombian club Deportes Quindío in 1965 and ended his career as player-manager in Córdoba, Argentina.[1]

At international level, Nawacki represented the Argentina national team in the 1–2 away win against Uruguay on 10 October 1956.[8]

Coaching career

In 1977, Nawacki won the Liga Regional de Fútbol de Río Cuarto with Fusión Belgrano-Toro from Coronel Moldes, a merger of Club Atlético Belgrano and Toro Fútbol Club.[2] Previously, he had led General Cabrera, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto with players such as Antonio Rattín and Ermindo Onega, and Arsenal de Holmberg.[1][7]

Abroad, he coached Chilean club Lota Schwager in 1983.
