Career & Clubs

Playing career

Born in Buenos Aires, Coudet spent most of his career in the Argentine Primera División with Rosario Central. From 1993 to 1995, he played for Platense, alongside David Trezeguet. He won three Argentine titles during his time with River Plate. In 2002, during the Argentine Great Depression, Coudet was one of many players to move abroad, joining Celta Vigo in Spain's La Liga. He said of life in his home country: "I can't live any more over here. It's terrible to experience every day with this sense of unease. 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. After several years playing in Mexico, Coudet returned to Argentina in January 2010 to play for Colón. Coudet eventually became a trialist for the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer and later signed with the club in July 2010. He was released by the club in February 2011. On 28 March 2011, Coudet signed with Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League. Coudet was given a six-match ban after aggressively confronting the referee in a match against the Puerto Rico Islanders on 21 July.

Coaching career

Rosario Central

On 12 December 2014, Coudet was named as the new head coach of Rosario Central, replacing Miguel Ángel Russo. As his assistant, he selected former Argentina international Ariel Garcé, who had a previous brief stint with Central. 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. Among others, Coudet also managed to sign defender Pablo Álvarez, midfielders José Luis Fernández, and Gustavo Colman. Coudet's debut was a surprise 1–0 win away to reigning champions Racing Club, followed with four consecutive victories. Coudet's side had a 13-game undefeated streak until an eventual 2–0 loss away to River Plate. Central bounced back quickly, inflicting on rivals Newell's an unprecedented fourth consecutive derby loss. 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.

Club Tijuana

On 12 June 2017, Coudet was announced as the new manager of Liga MX side Club Tijuana, having signed a one-year contract with the club. Just 4 months and 18 days later, he was dismissed. His team at the Xolos contained nine compatriots.
