description: "The Argentine who became Italian mid-career and won the Ballon d'Or in between. Sívori's left foot and low center of gravity made him impossible to mark in Serie A's golden age, and in 1961 the trophy went to Juventus's number 10 instead of the usual suspects."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Argentina, Sívori debuted for River Plate and won the 1957 South American Championship with his national team, taking home the tournament's best player award. Juventus brought him to Turin in the late 1950s, where his technique and goalscoring delivered three Serie A titles and made him a cult figure in the stands. He switched nationalities, played for Italy at the 1962 World Cup, and later moved to Napoli before retiring with 432 career goals. The Ballon d'Or in 1961 confirmed what defenders already knew: he was as creative as he was brutal to stop. He spent his final years coaching in Argentina, where it started.
