Argélico Fucks (born 4 September 1974), commonly known as Argel, is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Esporte Clube Vitória.
Argel was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul. In his beginnings he played for Sport Club Internacional, Santos FC and Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, with a brief stint in Japan in between and an unsuccessful spell at Portugal's FC Porto, which finished after a serious run-in with the board of directors and prompted his Brazil return.
In 2001, Argel returned to Portugal with S.L. Benfica, which he helped win the Primeira Liga in his fourth season and the domestic supercup, the former after an 11-year drought. The player contributed to this feat with ten games and one goal.
After falling down the stoppers' pecking order at Benfica, Argel had an unassuming six-month stay at Racing de Santander, going on to retire in 2007 after representing Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, Canoas Sport Club and China's Zhejiang Lucheng FC. He then started a managerial career, first being hired as Guaratinguetá Futebol's head coach on 8 February 2008, being sacked exactly one year later. Three days later, he was hired by Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul.
