Guillermo Carlos Morigi (born March 1, 1974 in Caseros, Buenos Aires province) is an Argentine former football left winger who played throughout most of his career for Vélez Sársfield in the Primera División Argentina. He was part of the team during its most successful years, the 1990s.
Career
Club
Morigi started his career with Vélez Sársfield of the Argentine First Division. He was part of the first team in the history of the club to achieve two consecutive championships, the Apertura and Clausura of the 1995-96 season. He also won with the team the 1996 Supercopa Sudamericana and 1997 Recopa Sudamericana.
For the 1997-98 season Morigi was sold to Spanish La Liga side Valencia CF. However, as most of Vélez Sársfield's 1990s multi champions, he was not successful outside his first team.[1] He played 15 games for Valencia and scored 1 goal, in a 4-3 victory over FC Barcelona.[2] He was also part of the squad that won the 1998 UEFA Intertoto Cup, and played some minutes in the first final against Austria Salzburg. Morigi was also part of the squad that won de 1998-99 Copa del Rey, having played for the club during the first half of the season-long championship.[3]
He returned to Vélez in 1999 and played for the team until 2002. He then had a short spell at Racing and Ecuadorian Barcelona SC, where he suffered a serious knee injury.[4] He was released from his contract in 2004, and immediately retired at the age of 30.[5]
National team
Morigi played a friendly match for the Argentine national team in 1996, while he was playing for Vélez.
After football
In 2008 Morigi won a trial against Barcelona SC for unpaid salary. Ecuadorian justice put an embargo on the team's stadium, the Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha, to secure payment.[6] He then went on to work as a football agent with the New Player Agent Corp.[7]
