He began his football career at
Tucumán Central, a club in the
Liga Tucumana de Fútbol. His outstanding performances attracted the attention of other clubs in the region, such as
Altos Hornos Zapla and
Atlético Ledesma, both from
Jujuy Province, who signed him to play in the
Campeonato Nacional tournaments. At Atlético Ledesma he played under coach
Ángel Tulio Zof, who in 1979 took him to
Rosario Central together with teammate
Héctor Chazarreta. At the club he enjoyed an outstanding spell thanks to his style of play, becoming part of the team nicknamed
La Sinfónica, which reached the semifinals of both the
1979 Argentine Primera División Metropolitano and the
1979 Campeonato Nacional. The failure to win either tournament led to Zof’s departure; however, he was rehired in mid-1980. He then led the team that won the
1980 Campeonato Nacional, with Bacas as an undisputed starter. After playing the
1981 Copa Libertadores with the club from
Barrio Arroyito, Bacas was transferred to
Club América in
Mexico. With the
Águilas he continued his good performances, becoming one of the most important players in the squad and decisive in winning championships. With the
azulcrema side he won three league titles. ==Honours==
