Pablo Ignacio Calandria (born 15 March 1982 in Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for O'Higgins F.C. in Chile, as a striker.
Club career
Calandria played his first professional game for Club Atlético Huracán at the age of only 16.[1] He was almost immediately linked with a transfer to country giants Club Atlético River Plate for a US$850,000 fee,[2] but nothing came of it and was instead acquired by French club Olympique de Marseille.
Calandria was very unsuccessful in his first spells abroad, only scoring once in three full seasons combined with Marseille, RC Lens and Málaga CF. Released by L'OM in the 2002 summer he continued playing in Spain in the following six years, representing four teams in Segunda División, namely CD Leganés and Sporting de Gijón.
Calandria scored his first goal in the Argentine Primera División while playing for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy, in a 1–2 away defeat against San Lorenzo de Almagro for the 2008 Apertura tournament. After being relegated he joined Atlético Tucumán, netting in his debut.[3]
In 2010 Calandria signed for Santiago Morning in the Chilean Primera División, going on to remain in the country in the following years, with Club Deportivo Universidad Católica and Santiago Wanderers.[4]
International career
Calandria played for Argentina at the U–17 and U–20 levels.[1]
