Arián Benjamín Pucheta (born 8 March 1995) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Manta F.C.[1]

Club career

Pucheta had a period of his youth career with Boca Juniors, prior to joining San Martín.[3][4] He was promoted into San Martín's squad during the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División season, first appearing as an unused substitute for a 6–1 defeat to Newell's Old Boys on 18 December 2016.[1][5] In the following March, Pucheta made his professional debut against Huracán at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario.[1] Another three appearances occurred in 2016–17.[1] He terminated his contract at the end of 2019, following thirty-six total appearances.[1][6] In January 2020, Pucheta joined fellow Primera B Nacional team Ferro Carril Oeste.[7]

Pucheta ended his Ferro contract in November 2020, having not appeared competitively for the club; due to the COVID-19 pandemic and minor injury.[1][8] A move to Torneo Federal A with Central Norte soon followed, as the centre-back appeared five times before departing; notably receiving a red card in his final appearance on 3 January 2021 versus Atlético Güemes.[1][9] Days later, on 7 January, Pucheta was announced as a new signing by Ecuadorian Serie A side Orense.[2]

International career

Pucheta was selected for the 2011 South American Under-17 Football Championship by Argentina U17 manager Oscar Garré.[1] He subsequently won six caps as Argentina finished third.[1]
