The player who played 39 games with the Rojo shirt put an end to his professional career.
Sebastian Pencothe eternal “Motoneta”, decided to hang up his boots after an extensive career that took him to various latitudes, but which had a golden chapter in Avellaneda. After a brief return to regional football in San Juan to put an end to the vice, the 42-year-old forward puts an end to a career of more than two decades where effort was never negotiable.
For the Independent world, Penco’s name will always be linked to resilience. He arrived at the darkest moment in the club’s history and, far from being intimidated, he put on the vest to be a fundamental piece in the return to the top category in 2014.
The Rojo fan does not forget his dedication and those decisive goals – like the one remembered so much against Instituto in Córdoba – that paved the way for promotion. His time at the King of Cups was confirmation that, with determination and commitment, you can leave an indelible mark on such a demanding institution.
Throughout his career he played more than 500 official matches and scored more than 160 goals, wearing shirts in Argentina, Greece, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Italy. A player who will remain in the hearts of the Rojo fan is retiring for his dedication and for having stood up in difficult moments.
