Ángel Roberto Amarilla Lezcano (born 27 July 1981) is a Paraguayan former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Football career
Born in Eusebio Ayala, Amarilla was signed by Valencia CF in the summer of 1999, being hailed as of one of the biggest promises in his country after playing as a 17-year-old for Atlético de Rafaela, which led his agent Eduardo Gamarnik trying to find a club for him in Europe. He was initially assigned to the B-team.
On 21 November 2000 Amarilla made his first – and only – official appearance for the main squad, with coach Héctor Cúper fielding him in a 2–0 home win against SK Sturm Graz for the season's UEFA Champions League second group stage.{{cite web|url=http://www.renaldinhos.com/2009/02/angel-roberto-amarilla-nescano.html|title=Ángel Roberto Amarilla Nescano|publisher=Renaldinhos|author=Capitán (tan) Argento|language=Spanish|date=13 February 2009|accessdate=3 March 2013}} Released by the Che in June 2006 after several loans,{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/2001/08/23/pagina-28/456233/pdf.html|title=Clara apuesta por la juventud|trans-title=Clear bet on youth|work=Mundo Deportivo|language=Spanish|date=23 August 2001|accessdate=17 March 2013}}{{cite web|url=http://archivo.abc.com.py/2003-01-16/articulos/29511/roberto-amarilla-al-club-racing-de-avellaneda|title=Roberto Amarilla al club Rácing de Avellaneda|trans-title=Roberto Amarilla to Rácing de Avellaneda|publisher=ABC Paraguay|language=Spanish|date=15 January 2003|accessdate=17 March 2013}}{{cite web|url=http://archivo.abc.com.py/2004-07-21/articulos/123371/roberto-amarilla-se-sumo-ayer-al-plantel-azulgrana|title=Roberto Amarilla se sumó ayer al plantel azulgrana|trans-title=Roberto Amarilla joined azulgrana roster yesterday|publisher=ABC Paraguay|language=Spanish|date=21 July 2004|accessdate=17 March 2013}} he resumed his career in the Spanish lower leagues, mainly with UD Alzira and mostly in the Valencian Community.
