Pablo Ariel Lugüercio (born 10 March 1982 in La Plata) is an Argentine football striker, who currently plays for Racing Club de Avellaneda of the Primera Division Argentina.
Lugüercio started his career with Estudiantes in the Primera Division in 2001, and then went on loan to Defensa y Justicia of the 2nd division in 2002. In 2005, Lugüercio played to Peruvian club Universidad San Martín de Porres.
Back in Estudiantes, Lugüercio helped Estudiantes win their first league title in 23 years, when he appeared in the 2-1 championship playoff victory against Boca Juniors on December 13, 2006. In the 2007 Clausura tournament, Lugüercio scored six goals coming from the bench. Following the departure of fellow strikers José Luis Calderón and Mariano Pavone, Lugüercio saw more play time in the 2007-08 season. A transfer to Mexico's Club Atlas was in the cards, but the club decided to keep Lugüercio to avoid completely dismantling the attacking section.
Lugüercio was transferred to Racing Club, where he became a starter.
His nickname is payaso ("clown").
