Height, Weight & Measurements
Carlos Tevez stands at an impressive height of 1.73 meters (5 feet 8 inches) and weighs around 80 kg (176 lbs). His agile frame and strong build have contributed to his remarkable performance on the pitch. Throughout his career, he maintained peak physical condition, enabling him to compete at the highest level in both domestic and international matches.
Tevez has a distinctive burn scar that runs down his neck from his right ear to his chest. He was accidentally scalded with boiling water as a child, which caused third-degree burns and kept him hospitalised in intensive care for nearly two months.
After joining Boca Juniors, Tevez refused an offer from the club to have them cosmetically improved, saying the scars were a part of who he was in the past and who he is today.

Carlos Tevez is married to his long-time partner, Vanessa Mansilla. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2016 after being together for several years. They enjoy a close-knit family life with their children, including two daughters, Florencia and Katia, and a son, Darío. Despite his fame, Tevez has managed to keep his personal life relatively private, often sharing glimpses of his family life on social media.
It was from there he received the nickname of "El Apache". His biological parents were Juan Alberto Cabral and Fabiana "Trina" Martínez. He was adopted by his maternal aunt Adriana Noemí Martínez and her husband Segundo Raimundo Tévez. His adopted parents changed his surname to his adopted father's during a conflict between his junior club All Boys and Boca Juniors.

During his peak years, Tevez had lucrative contracts with top clubs in Europe and Asia. Additionally, his involvement in various business ventures, including investments in football academies and other enterprises, has further contributed to his wealth.
Manchester United and West Ham sought FIFA's assistance to rule on Tevez's ownership, but on 24 July, FIFA suggested the case be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Joorabchian intervened by issuing West Ham with a High Court writ "...to compel West Ham to release the registration of Carlos Tevez in accordance with contracts entered into between the parties".
However, the case never made it to court as the Premier League approved an agreement between West Ham and MSI in which MSI would pay £2 million to West Ham, who in turn released Tevez from his contract.
