Mariano Esteban Uglessich ( born 6 November 1981 in Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine footballer who played as a defender.

Career

Vélez Sarfield, Mexico and Arsenal

He started playing at Vélez Sársfield youth divisions, and debuted professionally on 22 February 2002. He played very briefly for the Mexican League System Segunda División de México Querétaro F.C. in the first quarter of 2004, but after that returned to Vélez Sársfield. He was part of the team that won the Torneo Clausura 2005 but he hardly ever played due to being overshadowed by Fabricio Fuentes, Maximiliano Pellegrino and Hernán Pellerano.

During the 2007–08 season, after Pellegrino's departure, Uglessich was a regular starter in Vélez. On 3 February 2009, the central defender left Velez Sarsfield by mutual consent with the club. Arsenal de Sarandí signed the former Velez Sarsfield.[1]

O'Higgins

In 2013, he signed with the Chilean Club O'Higgins, where he won the Apertura 2013–14. In the tournament, he played in 12 of the 18 matches.[3] In 2014, he won the Supercopa de Chile with the club, playing against Deportes Iquique, and failing the fifth penalty in the penalty shoot-out.

He participated with the club in the 2014 Copa Libertadores where they faced Deportivo Cali, Cerro Porteño and Lanús, being third and being eliminated in the group stage. [4]
