‘El Presidente’ Pucciariello happy with his Reds lifestyle

FEDERICO PUCCIARIELLO has been a wanderer for a decade, ever since he left Argentina to sign a professional contract with then second division Italian club Parma.

After travelling throughout Italy, England, France and now Ireland, he admits he’s the exploring type, saying: “I’ve been like that from as far back as I can remember; it has been a memorable journey.”

Shortly after his arrival in Parma, he met his future wife, Carlotte, an Italian fashion designer with whom he now has a young son. She took to the road with as much enthusiasm as Pucciariello, stopping first at French club Narbonne.
