Juan Cruz Monteagudo (born 26 October 1995) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defender for Italian Serie D club Virtus Francavilla.[1]

Career

[edit]

Nueva Chicago was Monteagudo's first club.[1][2] He became a senior member of their first-team during the 2015 Primera División campaign, though didn't appear in a matchday squad as the club was relegated to Primera B Nacional.[1] He made his bow versus Independiente Rivadavia on 5 March 2016, prior to scoring his opening goal in April against Villa Dálmine in a 6–4 victory.[1] Monteagudo featured nine times in 2016, the last appearance coming in a defeat to Crucero del Norte which he left after eighty-eight minutes via a straight red card.[1][3] Forty-nine appearances occurred in the next three campaigns for the Mataderos outfit, along with one further goal.[1][4]

June 2019 saw Monteagudo agree an eighteen-month loan deal with Deportes Puerto Montt, effective with the Chilean transfer window's opening on 23 July.[5]

He then joined Catania of Italian Serie C in 2021. On 9 April 2022, he was released together with all of his Catania teammates following the club's exclusion from Italian football due to its inability to overcome a number of financial issues.[6]

On 25 July 2022, Monteagudo signed with Serie C club Viterbese.[7]

On 20 July 2023, Monteagudo moved to Virtus Francavilla.[8]
