Luis Antonio Carniglia (4 October 1917 in Olivos – 22 June 2001 in Buenos Aires) was a football striker and manager from Argentina. He played for Boca Juniors in the 1930s, but is probably best known for managing Real Madrid in the 1950s. Luis Carniglia was buried in La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires.
Carniglia began his career in the fourth division club Club de Olivos, in 1932. He remained there for one season before joining Club Atlético Tigre, but this was only a stepping stone on his way to completing his childhood dream of playing for Boca Juniors, whom he signed for in 1936. His debut, for Boca, was in a friendly played in Parana and was quite a spectacle. Carniglia had a goal within 3 minutes and a fractured left arm by the fifth minute. Boca went on to win the game 3–0. He was part of the Boca side that won the 1940 Argentine First Division and the Copa Dr. Carlos Ibarguren.
1941 was a turn for the worse in his professional career, in a game against San Lorenzo, Carniglia broke his leg. The recovery took three years which he spent at Chacarita Juniors and Atlas, though he was never be the same player again. He prolonged his career by playing in the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 with SC Toulon and OGC Nice. Transitioning into the role of manager with OGC Nice. That is not to say that his final years as a player were entirely fruitless, he won the Ligue 1 title and a Coupe de France in 1952, and the Coupe de France again in 1954, all with Nice.
