Julio Daniel Asad is an Argentine former football player and manager. He played as a midfielder, and participated with Argentina in the 1975 Copa América.
Asad was nicknamed "El Turco" due to his Syrian and Lebanese ethnicity. In Argentina, Arabs were mistakenly called Turks, since they came to Argentina with Ottoman Turkish documents in the 1900s. After he retired from professional football, he became a manager. He has coached clubs in Argentina, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, and El Salvador.
He is the uncle of Omar Asad, who was also a successful player for Vélez in the 1990s.Honours
