Career

Depietri began his career at a very young age.[3] He initially joined Unicen, before moving to an academy created by his father at the age of five.[3] Aged ten, Depietri returned to Unicen and remained for four years.[3] He made his senior debut in Liga Tandilense at the age of fifteen, eventually becoming a regular aged sixteen as he featured in both the regional league and Torneo Federal C.[3] In mid-2019, Depietri headed to Santamarina; penning a two-year contract.[3][4] He made his debut off the bench in Primera B Nacional against Sarmiento on 17 August, which preceded the forward scoring on his starting debut away to Chacarita Juniors on 31 August.[2]

After ten total appearances for Santamarina, Depietri received a transfer offer from Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids in December 2019.[2][3] However, despite the club's willingness to sell, he rejected the move in order to continue his development with the Aurinegro; stating he wasn't ready to make such a jump.[3] He ended the curtailed 2019–20 with fifteen appearances.[2] Depietri, amid rumoured interest from Swiss Challenge League outfit Chiasso, started the subsequent 2020 campaign with a goal against Quilmes on 28 November, which was followed by strikes versus Instituto and Almagro.[5][6][7][8]

Personal life

Depietri's grandfather and father, both named Guillermo, played football for Santamarina; in the 1980s and 2000s respectively.[3]
