Emmanuel Gigliotti announces his retirement from professional football | OneFootball

Emmanuel Gigliotti officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 38 on Urbana Play, following his last stint with Colón. The forward, with an extensive career in Argentine and international football, explained the reasons for a decision he had been considering for some time.

“I made the decision while still having opportunities. Fortunately, for my ego, clubs kept calling me. Physically, I felt fine, but I got a bit tired,” expressed the striker, making it clear that his departure from the sport was not due to physical reasons, but rather a personal and mental matter.

Gigliotti ended his career wearing the sabalero jersey, contributing his experience and leadership within the squad during a challenging period for the institution. Over the years, the “Puma” stood out for his strength, goal-scoring ability, and presence in the area, traits that made him a respected forward in every team he played for.

Thus, Colón was the last club in the career of a footballer who made his mark in Argentine football, and who now begins a new chapter off the field, after more than a decade competing at the highest level.
