Claudio Daniel Borghi Bidos (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈklawðjo ˈβoɾɣi]; born 28 September 1964), nicknamed Bichi, is an Argentine naturalized Chilean[1] football manager and former player who played as an attacking midfielder.
Borghi was drafted in alongside Dutchmen Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit, but, since teams were allowed only two foreign players, he was loaned out to Como for the 1987–88 season.
Afterwards Borghi left Italy and tried his luck in Switzerland with Neuchâtel Xamax, before returning to South America where he played for River Plate, Flamengo and Independiente.
After leading the club to a 6th-place finish in the 2009 Apertura championship, Borghi and the Argentinos Juniors directors set the target of surpassing the 61 points from the 2007–08 season to avoid dropping further down the relegation table.
On 24 February 2011, he was presented by the Chilean Football Federation as the new coach, in replacement of Marcelo Bielsa, under a contract of US$1.5 Million per year until the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup playoffs, to be extended automatically in case of qualification.
His son, Filippo Borghi Pagnuco, was with the Unión Española youth ranks as a striker, but he switched to the rugby union when he was a student of Redland School, representing Chile at international tournaments.
