Eduardo Germán Coudet (born 12 September 1974), nicknamed El Chacho,[1] is an Argentine professional football manager and former player.

Born in Buenos Aires, Coudet spent most of his career in the Argentine Primera División with Rosario Central.

In 2002, during the Argentine Great Depression, Coudet was one of many players to move abroad, joining Celta Vigo in Spain's La Liga.

You brake at a light and you don't know if they're going to wash your windscreen, ask for an autograph or stick a bullet through your head", and had chosen a cheaper car to avoid bringing attention to his wealth.

Aiming to reinforce his squad, Coudet contacted various ex-Central players, including Marco Ruben, Cristian Villagra (both playing in Ukraine at the time) and César Delgado, convincing them to join for the 2015 season.

[8] Among others, Coudet also managed to sign defender Pablo Álvarez and midfielders José Luis Fernández and Gustavo Colman.

Central bounced back quickly, inflicting on rivals Newell's an unprecedented fourth consecutive derby loss.

[9] Coudet's team finished 2015 in third place, and narrowly missed out on the 2014–15 Copa Argentina Championship after a controversial 2–0 final loss to Boca Juniors, after a dubious penalty decision and an offside goal put the tie beyond reach.

[17] Coudet quit the club on 9 November 2020, due to an approach by Celta Vigo in Spain's La Liga.

[19] He won his first five in command, with the most goals and fewest conceded of any league manager at that time, markedly better than his predecessor Óscar García.

[26] Four days later he managed the club to a goalless draw away to Red Bull Bragantino,[27] and took five matches to record his first win as Internacional knocked out River Plate on penalties following a 2–1 victory in regular time at Beira-Rio to lead the team into the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals.
