Facundo Roncaglia
Facundo Sebastián Roncaglia (Spanish pronunciation: [faˈkundo roŋˈkaɣlja]; Italian: [roŋˈkaʎʎa]; born 10 February 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for San Telmo. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a right-back.
Born in Chajarí, Entre Ríos Province, Roncaglia is of Italian descent. On 21 October 2007, he made his professional debut with Boca Juniors during a Primera División match in a 1–1 draw against Estudiantes de La Plata. He helped the capital club win the 2008 Apertura.
On 27 July 2009, Roncaglia signed with La Liga club RCD Espanyol on loan, being part of a squad that also featured five compatriots – including manager Mauricio Pochettino and former Boca teammate Juan Forlín. He returned to his previous team at the end of the season, only to move to Estudiantes immediately on loan.
Roncaglia left Boca in July 2012 as a free agent, having scored in the first leg of the 2012 Copa Libertadores final against Sport Club Corinthians Paulista the previous month (1–1 home draw and 3–1 aggregate loss). He immediately joined ACF Fiorentina from Italy afterwards, going on to appear in a total of 22 Serie A matches during his spell while moving on loan Genoa CFC in the same league as well.
On 12 July 2016, Roncaglia returned to Spanish football after agreeing to a four-year contract for RC Celta de Vigo. On 11 May 2017, he debuted in a 1–1 away draw against Manchester United in the second leg of the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, but was also sent off following a spat with Eric Bailly and his team was ousted 2–1 on aggregate.
On 31 January 2019, Roncaglia moved to Valencia CF on loan until June. On 8 August, after returning from loan, he signed a one-year contract with fellow top-tier club CA Osasuna for a fee of €250,000.
Roncaglia spent the 2021–22 campaign in the Cypriot First Division with Aris Limassol FC. On 18 July 2022, aged 35, he returned to Boca. In his second spell at La Bombonera, he notably won the 2022 national championship. On 11 June 2024, Roncaglia joined Club Atlético Sarmiento.
Roncaglia made his debut for Argentina on 15 November 2013, playing 63 minutes in a goalless friendly draw against Ecuador. He was selected by coach Gerardo Martino for the 2015 Copa América and started in the team's opening fixture, which was a 2–2 draw against Paraguay in La Serena.
