Facundo Sebastián Roncaglia (Spanish pronunciation: [roŋˈkaɣlja]; Italian: [roŋˈkaʎʎa]; born 10 February 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Italian club ACF Fiorentina. Mainly a right back, he can also play as a central defender.

Club career

Born in Chajarí, Entre Ríos of Italian descent,[1] Roncaglia made his professional debuts with Boca Juniors, his first top flight match being on 21 October 2007 in a 1–1 draw against Estudiantes de La Plata. He helped the capital team win the 2008 Apertura.

On 27 July 2009, Roncaglia signed with La Liga side RCD Espanyol on loan,[2] being part of a squad that also featured five countrymen – including manager Mauricio Pochettino and former Boca teammate Juan Forlín. He returned to his previous team at the end of the season, only to move to Estudiantes immediately, in the same predicament.[3]

Roncaglia left Boca in July 2012 as a free agent,[4] having scored in the first leg of the 2012 Copa Libertadores final against Sport Club Corinthians Paulista late in the previous month (1–1 home draw, 1–3 aggregate loss).[5] He joined ACF Fiorentina in Italy immediately after.

International career

Roncaglia made his debut for Argentina on 15 November 2013, playing 63 minutes in a 0–0 friendly draw in Ecuador. He was selected by coach Gerardo Martino for the 2015 Copa América[6] and started in the team's opening fixture, a 2–2 draw against Paraguay in La Serena.[7]
