Lucio Compagnucci (born 23 February 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Vélez Sarsfield in the Argentine Primera División.

Club career

Compagnucci debuted professionally for Vélez Sarsfield playing as a starter in the last fixture of the 2014 Argentine Primera División, a 0–2 defeat to San Lorenzo de Almagro.[1]

International career

In 2013, Compagnucci won with the Argentina national under-17 football team the South American Under-17 Football Championship, playing 7 games as a starter.[2] He was subsequently called to play the FIFA U-17 World Cup with the team, achieving a 4th place finish. The midfielder played 6 games as a starter, missing only the second group stage game due to being sent off in the team's debut. He also scored once, in the 1–4 defeat to Sweden for the third place match.

Two years later, Compagnucci was called by Humberto Grondona (who had previously been his coach in the under-17 national team) to play the 2015 South American Youth Championship with the Argentina national under-20 football team. In the team's championship winning campaign, the midfielder played 5 games and scored the last-minute equalizer against Colombia in the final stage.[3] However, this game would be his last of the competition, after being suspended for three matches due to an aggression to an opposition player.

Personal life

Lucio is the son of former footballer and current coach Carlos Compagnucci, who both played for and managed Vélez Sarsfield.
