Julio Daniel Asad (born June 7, 1953, in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a former footballer and manager. As a player, he participated with Argentina in Copa América 1975.
The nickname 'El Turco' is because Asad has Syrian and Lebanese ethnicity. In Argentina, Arabs are usually mistakenly called Turks since they came to Argentina with Ottoman Turkish documents in the 1900s. After he retired from professional football, he became a manager. He has coached clubs in Argentina, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, and El Salvador. He's been very successful in his era of coaching.
He is the uncle of Omar Asad, who was also a successful player of Vélez, in the 90s.
