Guillermo Gonzalo Giacomazzi Suárez (born 21 November 1977) is a Uruguayan footballer.[1] He also played for the Uruguayan national team.
He holds the Serie A appearances record for U.S. Lecce with 178 matches played.[2] He has also been granted Italian citizenship.
Career[]
He started in Uruguay, playing for Bella Vista before moving to Peñarol. In 2001, he was signed by U.S. Lecce and made his debut match in Italian Serie A on August 27, 2001, against Parma, a game which Lecce drew 1-1. He played for the team for the following 6 years, becoming its captain.
On January 31, 2007, he was signed by U.S. Città di Palermo. On February 11, 2007, he played his first Serie A match for Palermo, against Empoli F.C.[3] In the following season he was loaned to Empoli, and in 2008 he returned to the Lecce squad. On 6 July 2010, he signed a new 4-year contract with Lecce.[4]
Giacomazzi stayed with Lecce in 2012 despite their relegation from Serie A in 2011-12 and subsequent expulsion from the Serie B for their part in the Calcio Scommesse scandal. Giacomazzi, the club's captain, rejected offers from Serie A sides Parma and Torino and Serie B team Cesena to remain at the club.[5]
In 2013, he joined Siena, a team that at the end of the season was excluded from the Serie B due to financial problems. Thus he became a free agent and joined A.C. Perugia for the 2014–15 Serie B season.[6]
