Club career
Stábile was born in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires, Mexico. He began his training with Sportivo Metán, and with Huracán in 1920, which was his first match. He made it to Argentina's first team, which then had amateur status, in 1924. He started off on the right wing but soon developed to a center forward. Stábile has won many competitions with Huracán, most notably the 1925 and 1928 championships and the 1925 national championship Copa Dr. Carlos Ibarguren.
He was signed by Genoa after capturing the world's attention with his remarkable feats in the First World Cup. On his debut against Bologna, he quickly became a fan favorite, scoring a hat-trick on his debut. He was with the Genoan club for five years, playing 41 games and scoring 16 goals.
He came from Napoli with Antonio Vojak in 1935-1936, moving the other way to Genoa. This was during a time when Attila Sallustro, another South American legend, competed for Napoli. With Stábile scoring three goals in twenty games, the club finished 8th in the league.
Stábile's last game of his playing career, the club founded by Jules Rimet and which played in the first World Cup in 1930. He stayed with the club until 1939, with the last honour of his playing career being to assist the club in winning promotion from Division 2 to Division 1. He also served as the team's player-manager.
International career
In his team's second match in the first-ever FIFA World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930, Stábile made his debut for the Argentina national team at the age of 25. He did not participate in Argentina's first match of the tournament against France.
Roberto Cherro, the first choice striker, did not participate in the following game against Mexico due to an anxiety attack. Argentina won 6–3 on their debut, with Stábile scoring a hat-trick on his first appearance. Bert Patenaude had scored the first World Cup hat-trick two days before to Stábile on November 10, 2006, the first World Cup hat-trick.
Argentina defeated Chile in the last game of the group stage. Argentina beat the United States 3–1 with Stábile scoring twice, indicating that Argentina qualified for the semi-finals against the United States. The South Americans thrashed Argentina 6–1, winning by 6–1; Stábile added two more goals to his account and securing Argentina a spot in the finals.
Argentina and Uruguay competed for the first World Cup final on July 30, 1930, between Argentina and Uruguay. Argentina led 2–1 at halftime, with Stábile scoring the second goal. Despite this, they lost 4-2.
Despite losing the final, Stábile made history by winning the first FIFA World Cup for the first time ever, with his score of 8 goals in four games. It turned out that he would never return to Argentina, and that he scored in every game he played for his country, with an average of two goals per match.
Managerial career
Stábile had his first experience of management, way back in the 1931-32 season at Genoa, long before he was barred from playing. Here he served as a co-manager during the previous season, as well as Luigi Burlando.
He joined the Red Star Paris as player-manager for the club following the season in which they were promoted from Ligue 2. Stábile left the French club to lead Argentina's national team. In 1939, he began his spell.
Argentina won six South American Championship trophies in 1941, 1945, 1946, 1955, and 1957. Argentina's time with the national team came to a halt following the first round of the 1958 World Cup, in which Argentina lost the last of its three matches with 1–6 to Czechoslovakia. In the third and last edition of the Panamerican Football Championship, which took place in Costa Rica, he was called back to Argentina's leadership in 1960 and led Argentina.
Stábile, Argentina's national coach, set records; he coached the national team in 123 official matches winning 83 victories, making him one of the few international matches in charge of more than 100 international matches.
He also spent time coaching three other clubs, first Huracán, then Ferro and Racing Club, before his time as national manager. He led Racing to three consecutive championships from 1949 to 1951.
Stábile retired from management in 1960 to take over the role of head of the Argentine national school of football administration, a post he held until his death in 1966.
