Biography
Born in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bianchi was raised in a middle class family. In 1972 he married Margaret Mary Pilla and they had two children: Mauro Carlos and Brenda. Now has four grandchildren: Paul, Carlos and Matthew (who are sons of Mauro) and Mateo (son of Brenda and Hurricane defender Eduardo Dominguez). His father worked in a sales position in which Carlos regularly helped until he made his debut as a player in first division football for Velez Sarsfield, the club which he was a fan of.
During his tenure as coach of Velez Sarsfield he was known as the "Virrey", named by sports writer Victor Hugo Morales . The reason is based on footballing and historical grounds as Bianchi obtained several titles as a player and coach with Velez Sarsfield. The club is located in the neighborhood of Liniers alluding to the Virrey Liniers, who was in command of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata by early 1800.

Famous quotes containing the word biography:
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
