Brian Óscar Sarmiento (born 22 April 1990) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Other than in his country, he played in Spain, Brazil, Peru, Greece and Bolivia.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Sarmiento began his career in Argentina with Estudiantes de La Plata, signing for La Liga side Racing de Santander in July 2007. A complicated transfer situation between both clubs, which involved the Court of Arbitration for Sport's mediation, meant that the 17-year-old spent the entire 2007–08 season without making a single first-team appearance.[2]

For the 2008–09 campaign, Sarmiento was loaned to Xerez CD of Segunda División,[3] first appearing officially in a 1–1 home draw against Real Murcia on 3 September 2008 in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[4] Although not an undisputed starter, he did feature significantly[5] as the Andalusians achieved a first-ever top flight promotion, earning the nickname Currito de Jerez by their fans in the process.[6]

On 31 August 2009, Sarmiento went on another season-long loan, yet in the second level, now with Girona FC.[7] He made his first appearance on 3 October in a 2–2 draw with SD Huesca, scoring his team's second goal,[8] but was released by the Catalans in late January 2010 for disciplinary issues,[9] subsequently training with former club Santander to stay fit.[10]

Sarmiento spent 2010–11 with UD Salamanca, again on loan and in the Spanish second tier.[11] He netted for the first time in the league on 15 January 2011, but in 2–3 home loss to FC Barcelona B.[12] On 1 March he scored the game's only goal at home against Villarreal CF B, helping the Castile and León side to their first win in three months.[13]

Sarmiento then returned to the Argentine Primera División, where he represented in quick succession Racing Club de Avellaneda, Arsenal de Sarandí and All Boys. Following a very brief spell in Brazil with Associação Atlética Ponte Preta,[14] he went back to his country with Quilmes Atlético Club.

On 21 January 2015, Sarmiento joined Peruvian Primera División's Real Garcilaso.[15] During his one-year spell in Cusco, he played 39 matches across all competitions and scored eight times;[16] additionally, he bought a bar in the city.[17]

Back in Argentina, Sarmiento played for Club Atlético Banfield[18] and Newell's Old Boys. During his stint at the latter club, marred by injuries, he was often more talked about for his behaviour off the pitch.[19][20][21]

In June 2019, Sarmiento signed for Greek club Volos FC.[22] In September, after only eight minutes of action in the Super League, his contract was terminated by mutual consent,[23] and he returned to All Boys shortly after on a one-and-a-half-year deal.[24]

International career

[edit]

Sarmiento was named Best Newcomer while playing for the Argentina under-17 team, in a friendly tournament in 2006.[25] He also represented the nation at under-20 level.[26]
