BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine Juan Ramon “La Bruja” Veron, who was revered as a player at Estudiantes de La Plata where he won three Copa Libertadores titles, has died at 81, the club said on Tuesday.
Veron was instrumental in Estudiantes’ successes during the late 1960s, helping the team win three consecutive Copa Libertadores crowns in 1968, 1969 and 1970, a domestic league title in 1967, and the Inter-American Cup in 1969.
