Career

[edit]

Rubén Botta made his league debut for Tigre in a 0–0 draw with Boca Juniors on 23 March 2009, at the age of 19. He only played one further game in the 2009 Clausura before being loaned for half a season Latvian Higher League side FK Ventspils, where he did not play in any games. In 2010, he returned to Tigre and begun to make more regular appearances for the club. On 13 November, he came to widespread attention in a 2–1 win against league leaders Estudiantes de la Plata, in which he assisted for Tigre's second goal and nearly scored a third after a display of individual skill.[2][unreliable source?]

In April 2013, he signed for Serie A club Internazionale,[3] despite he would join A.S. Livorno Calcio first. Botta failed to obtain Italian citizenship, thus Inter bought the non-EU registration quota from Livorno .[4] In January 2014 Botta formally became a player of Inter.[5] On 7 July 2015 Botta agreed to join Mexican side C.F. Pachuca.[6]

In January 2024, Botta joined Talleres.[7]
