César Andrés Carignano (born September 28, 1982) is a footballer from Argentina who plays as a forward, who currently plays for Colón de Santa Fe

[edit] Football career

He started his professional career in 2000 with Colón in his homeland Argentina. He spent 4 years at the club, scoring 27 goals in 79 games. At the start of the 2004/05 season FC Basel paid ₤1.8m to acquire his services. His fee didn't seem to be paying off as he played only 19 games and scoring a mere 7 goals from 2004-2007. Basel decided to loan him out to Club América for the 2007 Copa Libertadores in hope that he would rediscover his past form. He did not play any games during his time at América and returned to Basel ahead of the 2007/08 season. In January 2008, he was released by Basel due to recurrent injuries. He then returned to Colón de Santa Fe.

Some of his career highlights are his 3 caps for Argentina. He earned these caps from 2003-2004, while he was still at Colón.
