'''Carlos Manuel Morete Markov''' (born 14 January 1952), commonly known as '''Carlos Morete''', is a retired [Argentine](/source/Argentina) [football](/source/association_football) [striker](/source/Striker_(association_football)). He was born in the city of [Munro](/source/Munro%2C_Buenos_Aires) in [Greater Buenos Aires](/source/Greater_Buenos_Aires), and is one of the few players to have played for and won titles with Argentina's three biggest clubs: [River Plate](/source/Club_Atl%C3%A9tico_River_Plate), [Boca Juniors](/source/Boca_Juniors) and [Independiente](/source/Club_Atl%C3%A9tico_Independiente). He was part of 5 championship winning teams in Argentina as well as being the topscorer in three Argentine championships. He scored 245 top goals in the [Argentine Primera División](/source/Argentine_Primera_Divisi%C3%B3n) and [La Liga](/source/La_Liga) in [Spain](/source/Spain) making him one of the top marksmen in the history of football.

==Career==
Morete started his career at the age of 18 with River Plate, he was twice topscorer in Nacional 1972 and in [Metropolitano](/source/Metropolitano_championship) 1974 and won his first league title with River in Metropolitano 1975.

After winning the title with River, Morete was sold to Spanish side [UD Las Palmas](/source/UD_Las_Palmas) where he played 147 games in 5 seasons, scoring 79 league goals.

After a short spell with [Sevilla FC](/source/Sevilla_FC) Morete returned to Argentina to play for River's hated rivals; Boca Juniors where he won his second league title, the Metropolitano 1981. After a short spell in [Talleres](/source/Talleres_de_C%C3%B3rdoba), he went to Independiente, where he hit a remarkable 20 goals in 20 games during Metropolitano 1982 to become topscorer in the Argentine Primera for the third time. After two back-to-back defeats at the hands of [Estudiantes de La Plata](/source/Estudiantes_de_La_Plata), Morete's Independiente won Metropolitano 1983. The scorer was transferred to [Argentinos Juniors](/source/Argentinos_Juniors) where he helped this previously unsuccessful team to win two league championships; Met 1984 and [Nacional](/source/Nacional_championship) 1985 and to further success in the [Copa Libertadores](/source/Copa_Libertadores) 1985.
