Facundo Martín Martínez Montagnoli

Facundo Martínez Montagnoli built his career away from home. Born in Buenos Aires, he began at River Plate before crossing to Uruguay, a stretch of his career that took him through Atenas de San Carlos, Montevideo Wanderers and Rampla Juniors.

He arrived in 2009, left briefly for a season at Técnico Universitario, then returned in 2011 and stayed. Universidad Católica is where he eventually amassing more appearances for the club than anyone else in its history. A right-footed midfielder standing 179cm.

There is no trophy attached to his name in the available record, no call-up to a senior national team, no transfer fee that made headlines. What there is instead is longevity: a South American footballer who moved across three countries in his twenties before settling in Ecuador and simply staying long enough to outlast his teammates' turnover.
