Inter finished second to Napoli in his first season, but they struggled in his second and Passarella moved back home, returning to play one more year for River before retiring in 1989.

Passarella later coached Parma and his native Argentina, having helped them win the 1978 and 1986 World Cups as a player, but saw little success in both roles.

He left football altogether in 2013 after serving as President of River Plate for four years.
