Alejandro "El Negro" Martinuccio (born 16 December 1987 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a striker. He currently plays for Boston River.
Nueva Chicago
Martinuccio made his debut at Club Atlético Nueva Chicago in 2008 and after a remarkable individual performance with his team in the Primera B Metropolitana was transferred to Uruguayan club C.A. Peñarol.
Peñarol
Martinuccio helped Peñarol reach the 2011 Copa Libertadores Finals, in which Peñarol lost to Brazil's Santos. He had thirteen appearances and scored 2 goals in the competition.
Fluminense
After a good display of football in the 2011 Copa Libertadores, Fluminense signed Martinuccio in July 2011.[1]
Villarreal
Martinuccio joined Villarreal in January 2012 in a loan deal. He scored his first goal for the club against Real Zaragoza on March 4.
Cruzeiro
In July 2012, Cruzeiro signed Martinuccio on a one-year loan from Fluminense.[2] He stayed there for another year until mid-2014 and won the 2013 Brazilian Série A and the 2014 Campeonato Mineiro. However, due to injuries he could never establish himself in the team and returned to Fluminense.[3]
Coritiba
In June 2014 Martinuccio was loaned one more time, on this occasion to another Brazilian club, Coritiba.[4] Once again he struggled with injuries.[5]
Chapecoense
Without playing since November 2014 Chapecoense signed Alejandro on 30 April 2016. Martinuccio failed in medical exams at Ponte Preta before agreeing with Chapecoense. He had a chance to return to football after a series of serious injuries and surgeries on both legs.[6] Because of a new injury, Martinuccio missed the ill-fated team flight which crashed near Medellín, where 71 people died.[7]
