Gabriel Iván Heinze (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈeinse]; born 19 April 1978) is an Argentine former footballer who operated as either a left back or a central defender, and the current manager of Argentinos Juniors.
Nicknamed Gringo ("Blonde" in Argentine-Spanish slang), he made a name for himself at Paris Saint-Germain, moving in 2004 to Manchester United and subsequently to Real Madrid, winning four trophies with the latter two clubs. He started and finished his 18-year professional career with Newell's Old Boys.
Heinze played 72 times with Argentina, representing the nation at two World Cups and as many Copa América tournaments.
Heinze was born in Crespo, Entre Ríos to a Volga German father and an Italian mother, thus holding both nationalities. He began his career in his home country with Newell's Old Boys and, following attention from various European clubs, the 19-year-old signed for Real Valladolid in Spain, not managing one single La Liga appearance in his first season and also being loaned to Sporting Clube de Portugal in the 1998 summer.
After the 2000–01 campaign, where he appeared in 36 league games to help the Castile and León side narrowly avoid top flight relegation, Heinze moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he amassed over 100 overall appearances in three years, helping to the 2004 conquest of the Coupe de France.
