Gabriel Alejandro Cichero Konarek (born 25 April 1984) is a Venezuelan football defender currently playing for UA Horta.
Personal
He is the son of Mauro Cichero who was a professional football player and represented Venezuela in the 1980 Olympics. His brothers, Alejandro and Mauro, are also professional football players.[1]
Club career
Cichero began his professional career with Uruguayan Primera División side Montevideo Wanderers, appearing in 35 matches and scoring 1 goal. During January 2006 transfer window he was loaned to Serie A side U.S. Lecce for the remainder of the season. He then returned to Uruguay and in 2007 was transferred to Vihren Sandanski, in the Bulgarian championship.[2] Following his stay in Bulgaria Cichero returned to his native Venezuela and signed with Deportivo Italia.
Cichero was loaned out to New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer on 11 July 2008 in a deal that was to end in December 2008, but had an option to be extended into 2009.[3] Numerous blunders in the handful of key late-season games he played meant that the loan was never extended and Cichero was not offered a contract. After being released by New York, he was loaned out to Caracas FC for the 2009 season.
Cichero joined Newell's Old Boys on loan for the 2010–11 Argentine Primera División season.[4] He played 23 matches and scored once.
On 4 August 2011, it was confirmed his transfer to French side RC Lens, in a one-year loan with a buy option for two more years.[5]
In 2012, Cichero joined Ligue 2 outfit FC Nantes on a season-long loan deal with an option to make it permanent.[6] Nantes ended the 2012–13 season promoted back to the Ligue 1 and then he signed a permanent deal with the French top-flight team. However, he failed to find a regular first team place in the 2013–14 season and moved to Swiss side FC Sion on 27 January 2014.[7] He was loaned out to Mineros de Guayana on 8 July 2014. On 10 August it was announced he has signed for Indian club Delhi Dynamos FC for the 2017–18 season.[8]
International career
Gabriel Cichero has 61 caps for the Venezuela national team, and has scored four goals including the winner against Chile in the 2011 Copa América quarterfinal.
