He remained there for one season before joining Club Atlético Tigre, but this was only a stepping stone on his way to completing his childhood dream of playing for Boca Juniors, whom he signed for in 1936.

1941 was a turn for the worse in his professional career, in a game against San Lorenzo, Carniglia broke his leg.

Carniglia was Real Madrid head coach from June 1957 to July 1959 with a two-month stop from February 1959 due to a renal colic.

Carniglia did not have a high opinion of Puskás when he arrived, as he had not played professionally in over a year and was considerably over weight.

Carniglia whipped him into shape with Puskás losing 15 kg before his first La Liga game against Oviedo.

[6] Carniglia left Puskás out of the 1959 European cup final, which led to his being sacked by Santiago Bernabéu,[6] the chairman of Real.

[7] Following his mid season departure from Roma in 1963, apparently due to arguments with the club directors,[8] he took over at A.C. Milan, the team he had beaten in the 1958 European Cup Final.

Before the second leg rumors began to circulate that the Argentinian referee had been bribed,[8] Milan tried to have match official changed but were barred from doing so.

In the third minute, of the playoff, Giovanni Trapattoni was adjudged to have fouled a player in the box and Santos had a penalty, which they duly converted.
