Oscar Alberto Dertycia Álvarez (born 3 March 1965) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a striker, who later worked as a manager.
Born in Córdoba, Córdoba Province, Dertycia started playing professionally with hometown's Instituto de Córdoba, moving in 1985 to Argentinos Juniors. During his four-year spell, he won the Copa Libertadores and finished runner-up in the Intercontinental Cup in his debut season, and was also crowned the Primera División's top scorer in 1988–89, finishing with 20 goals.
In the following summer, Tiburón joined Italy's ACF Fiorentina, being the predecessor of compatriot Gabriel Batistuta. With the Florentine club, he reached the final of the 1989–90 UEFA Cup, playing alongside Roberto Baggio.
After a relatively unassuming spell, which also included a severe injury, Dertycia moved to Spain, first with Cádiz CF where he garnered a firm fanbase, being nicknamed Mister Proper due to the bald head he now sported (due to the resulting stress after the injury). However, his heyday would be lived at CD Tenerife: he signed in 1991 as a replacement for Rommel Fernández, and was a crucial offensive weapon for the Canary Islands side under compatriot Jorge Valdano. Never an undisputed starter, he did amass 16 La Liga goals in his first two seasons combined, being intimately connected to Real Madrid's consecutive championship losses in the last-round, to FC Barcelona.
