Agüero was also part of the team that played in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, which he played one game against Portugal . For a year that was his last appearance for the national team before the call of the new Italy coach, Nick Mallett, during the test match autumn of 2008 and, thereafter, the tour summer 2009 in Australasia.

After the dissolution of Aironi, Agüero joined the new Italian franchise Zebre. On 12 November 2015, Aguero was signed by English club Leicester Tigers for the remainder of the 2015-16 Aviva Premiership season.[1]
