Pedro Manfredini

Pedro Waldemar Manfredini (7 September 1935 – 21 January 2019)[1] was an Argentine professional footballer who played as a striker.

During the 1962–63 season, he was the Serie A top scorer (tied with Harald Nielsen with 19 goals), and he once again finished as the top scorer of the 1962–63 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, scoring 6 goals throughout the tournament, as Roma reached the semi-finals, losing out to the eventual champions Valencia.

He later spent a season with Brescia and then Venezia before moving to Chile and playing for Deportes La Serena in 1969, his last club.

He took part in the first ever edition of the Copa América in 1959, on home soil, making his debut in the competition, and appearing three times.

He scored two goals in a 6–1 win against Chile in the opening match of the tournament, which was also his international debut, helping his country to lift the South American Championship title.
