After the death of Javier Yacuzzi in Mexico, heartfelt farewell to the clubs where he played

Argentine soccer is mourning the death of Javier Yacuzzi. The former player, retired since 2018, would have contracted a virus in Mexico, which would have caused his death.

In 2012 he had a fleeting stint with Huracán and then he served for a season in Rosario Central and later in Defensa y Justicia (2013 to 2016). His last three teams were from the interior, including the one where he retired, Club Belgrano de Saint Nicholas in 2018.
