Former Inter striker Hernan Crespo has taken to Instagram to celebrate after picking up his first piece of silverware as a coach.
The former Argentine national team coach led Defensa y Justicia to glory in the Copa Sudamericana, the South American equivalent of the UEFA Europa League.
The Buenos Aires based side ran out 3-0 winners over Argentine side Lanus which was played at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes this past weekend.
Crespo posted: “Champions!
“Congratulations to the players, who came out to play every game with the courage to try to carry out our football ideas, with authority, courage and passion, leaving everything on the field.
“Always respecting our values and ideals.
“Congratulations to the entire team, I am grateful to be able to work together every day with the same ideals, with conviction and passion.
