Fernando Andrés Cafasso (born 9 February 1983, in Jacinto Aráuz) is an Argentine former footballer, who played as a midfielder.[1]

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Cafasso began his football at River Plate.[2] Because he was not playing enough, he switched teams multiple times.[1][2] He seemed to have finally found his place at Guaraní, but decided to move to Italy short after he signed for them.[1][2]

Italy / Greece[edit]

Treviso was the first European team Caffaso played for.[1][2] He then opted to move to Greece, at Ionikos, but did not earn a lot of matches here as well.[2]

Gloria Bistrița[edit]

Before moving to Gloria, he had another failed spell at Guaraní.[2] In Romania, Cafasso established himself as a key player very quickly.[1][2] In spite of Gloria's relegation to Liga II, he chose not to leave the club and contributed to Gloria's promotion the following season.[2][3] As of the 2012–13 season, he was chosen to be Gloria's captain by coach Nicolae Manea, thus becoming the first foreign captain in the club's history.[4][5] He was released from Gloria in January 2013 when the club was put under administration.
