Career
Ravaschino started his career playing at the fifth division of Sportivo Barracas (located on his place of birth) in 1918. In 1923 he debuted in Independiente, where he would play 12 consecutive years scoring 136 goals for the club.[1]
He was one of the most notable players that formed the 1926 team, forming a powerful attacking line along with Canaveri, Lalín, Seoane and Orsi. Independiente won the title finishing unbeaten that season.[2]
Ravaschino also played for the Argentina national team in 1924 although he only played 2 matches (both against Uruguay) with no goals scored.[1]
When football became professional in Argentina in 1931, Ravaschino scored the first goal of Independiente in the professional era during a match against Argentinos Juniors, on 4 June that same year.[3][4] In 1934 he left the club after 12 years, signing for the Club Atlético Lanús where he played one season before his retirement as a footballer. His last goal scored was on September 1, 1935 against Chacarita Juniors.[1]
After his short tenure in Lanús, Ravaschino became manager, coaching Los Andes, Talleres (BA), Banfield (where he won the title in 1946 promoting to Primera), Independiente and Lanús. He also worked as broadcaster for the radio show "Ases del Deporte" ("Aces of Sports"), sharing the microphone with other former footballers such as Juan Carlos Muñoz, Roberto Cherro and Natalio Perinetti.[5][6]
