[edit] Club career
[edit] Vélez
Pellerano made his senior debut in 2003 for Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield, going on to quickly establish as an important first-team element: in 2005, he was part of the squad that won the Clausura, even though he was a substitute for Fabricio Fuentes and Maximiliano Pellegrino; two years later, he appeared in every game of the Apertura tournament.
That summer, Pellerano was also part of an Argentina-based national squad picked by Alfio Basile to train for the 2007 Copa América. However, he was not finally called for the tournament's final stages.
[edit] Almería
In the 2008–09 season, Pellerano moved abroad, joining UD Almería for a fee of around €3 million.[1] He scored on his official debut for the Andalusians, a 3–1 La Liga success at Athletic Bilbao on 31 August 2008,[2] and was a regular fixture in his first campaign.
Pellerano struggled heavily with injury in the following seasons, only appearing in eight league matches in 2010–11, with Almería eventually ranking 20th and last. He returned to his country for the following campaign, joining Newell's Old Boys on loan.
