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]
