Emmanuel Gigliotti (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈmanwel ɟʝiˈɣljoti]; born 20 May 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a striker for Chilean Primera División club Unión La Calera.

He is often known as El Puma (The Puma).[1]

Club career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Born in Buenos Aires, Gigliotti represented Platense, Comunicaciones and Lamadrid, making his senior debut with the latter during the 2006–07 season, in Primera C Metropolitana. He contributed with 13 goals in 37 appearances as his side reached the play-offs.[2]

In July 2007, Gigliotti joined Primera División side Argentinos Juniors after impressing in a friendly against the side. A request from Ricardo Caruso Lombardi, he was completely ostracized by new coach Néstor Gorosito and failed to make any appearances for the club.[2]

On 25 July 2008, Gigliotti signed for All Boys of the Primera B Nacional,[3] and finished the season as the club's top scorer and third overall.

Atlético Tucumán[edit]

On 9 August 2009, Gigliotti moved to Atlético Tucumán, newly promoted to the top tier.[4] He made his debut for the club on 3 September, coming on as a late substitute for Juan Pablo Pereyra in a 2–0 away win against Huracán.[5]

On 7 November 2009, in his first start, Gigliotti scored his first top tier goal by netting his team's last in a 4–2 home defeat of Tigre. Seven days later, he netted the opener in a 3–1 loss at River Plate,[6] and finished the campaign with five goals.

Novara[edit]

On 10 July 2010, Gigliotti moved abroad for the first time in his career after joining Serie A side Novara.[7] He made his debut for the club on 15 August 2010, replacing Marco Rigoni late into a 4–1 Coppa Italia home routing of Taranto.

Gigliotti made his debut in the first division of Italian football on 25 September 2010, replacing Cristian Bertani in a 4–1 home routing of Livorno. His first goal abroad came on 27 November, as he netted a last-minute equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against Siena.

On 18 January 2011, Gigliotti returned to his homeland, after agreeing to a six-month loan deal at former side All Boys, now in the first division.[8][9] On 20 July, he moved to fellow league team San Lorenzo in a temporary one-year deal.[10]

On 12 July 2012, Gigliotti signed a one-year loan deal with Colón, with a buyout clause.[11] With the side, he scored a career-best 21 league goals, being the top scorer of the Torneo Final.[12]

Boca Juniors[edit]

On 4 July 2013, after being heavily linked to Pumas UNAM,[13] Gigliotti signed a three-year contract with Boca Juniors.[14] He made his debut for the club on 13 August, replacing goalscorer Nicolás Blandi in a 3–2 away loss against Newell's Old Boys.

Gigliotti scored his first goal for Boca on 15 September 2013, netting the last in a 2–0 home win against Racing. Late in the month, he scored a brace in a 2–0 home defeat of Quilmes, and netted the game's only in an away success over rivals River Plate on 6 October.

On 27 November 2014, during the year's Copa Sudamericana semifinals, Gigliotti missed a penalty kick in a 1–0 loss against River Plate.[15] After that match, he was demoted to backup option behind new signing Dani Osvaldo.
