Nicolás Ricardo Larcamón (born 11 August 1984) is an Argentine professional football manager.

Early life

Larcamón was born in La Plata, Argentina to a footballing family: both his father and an uncle played professionally in Argentina.[2] He dreamed of following in their footsteps and rose through the ranks at Los Andes, where he signed a contract and was set to be part of the senior squad. However, after suffering from osteochondritis, Larcamón retired as a player at the age of 22.[3]

After ending his playing career, Larcamón began studying to be a physical education teacher, then took a sharp turn and changed his focus of study to architecture. He spent four years working towards this field before his passion for football won out.[4]

Career

Early career

Shortly before finishing his architectural studies, Larcamón took an opportunity to coach at the youth club Almafuerte de Temperley. From there, he rose through the coaching ranks: from working with the youth teams at Nueva Chicago and Los Andes, to the reserve team level, and as an assistant coach for the senior squad with Nueva Chicago, working under manager Alejandro Nanía.[5]

Deportivo Anzoátegui

On 27 December 2015, days after being announced as a youth manager of Zulia, Larcamón was appointed manager of Venezuelan Primera División side Deportivo Anzoátegui.[6] In his first senior season, he qualified the club to the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, and renewed his contract until 2018 on 30 October 2016.[7]

On 10 June 2017, Larcamón announced his departure from DANZ after the end of the Apertura tournament.[8]

Deportes Antofagasta

Hours after leaving Anzoátegui, Larcamón agreed to become the manager of Deportes Antofagasta of the Chilean Primera División.[9] On 25 December, after narrowly missing out a continental qualification, he resigned.[10]

Huachipato

On 4 January 2018, Larcamón replaced compatriot César Vigevani at the helm of Huachipato, also in the Chilean top tier.[11] After finishing ninth in his first season, he left on a mutual consent on 9 July 2019.[12]

Curicó Unido

On 5 December 2019, Curicó Unido officially announced Larcamón as their manager for the upcoming season.[13] He resigned from the club on 19 November 2020, after reportedly having "received offers from foreign clubs".[14]

Puebla

On 9 December 2020, Larcamón replaced sacked Juan Reynoso at the helm of Liga MX side Puebla.[15] He resigned on 9 November 2022, before the start of the 2022–23 season.[16]

León

On 30 November 2022, Larcamón took over fellow Mexican top tier side León.[17] Despite winning the 2023 CONCACAF Champions League, he was sacked on 15 December 2023, after their elimination in the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup.[18]

Cruzeiro

On 20 December 2023, Larcamón was appointed head coach of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Cruzeiro.[19] On 8 April 2024, Lacarmón was dismissed after losing the Campeonato Mineiro final to rivals Atlético Mineiro.[20]
