Argimiro Pérez García (born 14 March 1959), commonly known as Pichi Lucas, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker, and a current coach.
He spent most of his career with Celta, for which he appeared in 288 official games and scored 92 goals. His La Liga input consisted of 112 matches and 18 goals over the course of six seasons, also representing in the competition Compostela.
Lucas subsequently worked as a manager.
Born in Camponaraya, Castile and León, Lucas' professional career was solely associated to two Galician clubs, Celta de Vigo and SD Compostela. After a loan to lowly Córdoba CF, he returned to the former for the 1981–82 season, scoring a career-best 26 goals in 37 games en route to a La Liga promotion.
Lucas made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 5 September 1982, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Sevilla FC. He netted his first goal in the competition twenty days later in a 2–2 home draw with RCD Español, but only added another until the end of the campaign and his team was eventually relegated back; during his tenure with Celta, he experienced a further two promotions and relegations.
In the 1991 summer, after one year in Segunda División B with neighbouring CD Ourense, Lucas signed for Compostela from Segunda División. He contributed with nine goals in 28 matches in his third season, as the club reached the top flight for the first time in its history.
