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, after his last stint with Colón. The striker, with an extensive career in both Argentine and international football, explained the reasons behind a decision he had been considering for some time.

“I made the decision while I still had opportunities. Fortunately, for my ego, clubs kept calling me. Physically, I felt fine, but the truth is I got a bit tired,” said the forward, 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 to the squad during a demanding period for the club. Over the years, the “Puma” stood out for his strength, goal-scoring ability, and presence in the box—qualities that made him a respected striker on every team he played for.

In this way, Colón was the last club in the career of a footballer who managed to leave his mark on Argentine football, and who now begins a new chapter off the pitch after more than a decade competing at the highest level.
