Ignacio "Nacho" Martín Scocco ({{IPA|es|iɣˈnasjo esˈkoko}}; born 29 May 1985) is an Argentine retired professional footballer who last played as a forward for Newell's Old Boys. He has also played for clubs in Mexico, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, England and Brazil.
Club career
=Newell's Old Boys=
The Newell's Old Boys youth program quickly picked this young man up, and he was just nineteen when he made his debut in the Argentine top flight against San Lorenzo. He scored 17 goals in 75 games and played alongside players such as Fernando Belluschi and Ariel Ortega in the championship winning team of Apertura 2004. He also scored a very important goal for Newell's Old Boys against Boca Juniors scoring in the 82nd minute putting his club 1–0 up. In the summer of 2006 Scocco signed for Pumas UNAM for a fee of $3.5m, but stated to the newspaper «Reforma» that one day he would return to Newell's Old Boys.
"El Tucán", was a regular fixture in the Newell's Old Boys setup, and during the Clausura 2006 season he scored nine goals in 18 games, but better was to come in the 2006 edition of the Libertadores where Newell's reached the knockout stage. Scocco's four goals in just five starts were crucial to their campaign. Scocco wore the number 32 in the famous red and black shirts.
When Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti took over Pumas UNAM, and his main strikers Joaquín Botero and Bruno Marioni left he was willing to sign Scocco for $3.5m.
=Club Universidad Nacional=
In 2006, Scocco joined Mexican side Pumas for $3.5 million. He made his debut against Chiapas, and during his second appearance against Veracruz he scored his first goal, from the goal kick. Scocco also scored a hat-trick for Pumas against Querétaro. Scocco scored his last goal for Pumas UNAM against Veracruz, gaining Pumas UNAM 4–2. Scocco was a mainstay in the Pumas starting team, his strike partner was Esteban Solari. Scocco ended his career at Pumas with 53 appearances and 18 goals.
Scocco reinforces the Deportivo Toluca borrowed from the Pumas UNAM order by Americo Gallego in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores 2007.
=AEK Athens=
Scocco signed a three-year contract with AEK Athens on 18 June 2008. AEK Athens signed Scocco for a fee of €1.5 million, earning €400,000 per year.{{cite web|url=http://www.aekfc.gr/index.asp?a_id=305&n_id=4219|title=AEK FC signs Ignacio Scocco|website=aekfc.gr|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080803185214/http://www.aekfc.gr/index.asp?a_id=305&n_id=4219|archive-date=3 August 2008}} Scocco was the fourth Argentine player of the club, alongside Sebastián Saja, Agustín Pelletieri and Ismael Blanco. During his time at AEK, Scocco has been mostly used as a right winger and as an attacking midfielder, while sometimes he was also used as second striker, which was his preferred position.
Scocco also scored two goals past Olympiacos on 6 January 2010 and won AEK the away match 2–1 in the Karaiskakis Stadium.{{Cite web|url=https://www.tovima.gr/2010/01/06/sports/olympiakos-aek-1-2-br-o-skoko-nikise-ton-olympiako-kai-epaikse-kai-gia-ton-panathinaiko/|title=Ολυμπιακός-ΑΕΚ 1-2Ο Σκόκο νίκησε τον Ολυμπιακό και έπαιξε και για τον...

On 16 September 2010, Scocco scored the third and final goal on AEK's first European match against Hajduk Split in a 3–1 home win. This was the first goal of the season for Scocco.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/football/aek-chaintoyk-3-1.7929828.html|title=ΑΕΚ-Χάιντουκ 3-1|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} Three days later Scocco scored with a 30-yard shot against Asteras Tripolis.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/football/aek-asteras-tripolis-2-2.7929830.html|title=ΑΕΚ- Αστέρας Τρίπολης 2-2|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} On 17 October 2010, Scocco scored a 40-yard strike against Aris, and followed up with a second goal for a 4–0 away victory.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/football/aris-aek-0-4.7873809.html|title=Άρης - ΑΕΚ 0-4|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} On 25 November 2010, Scocco renewed his contract with AEK signing a new three-year deal which would keep him at the club until 2013. Scocco's contract was worth €3.6 million, earning €1 million per year and a buy-out clause worth €3 million for foreign teams{{Cite web|url=http://www.aekfc.gr/index.asp?a_id=1355&n_id=6422|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128144046/http://www.aekfc.gr/index.asp?a_id=1355&n_id=6422|url-status=dead|title=Scocco signs new 3-year deal|archivedate=28 November 2010}} On 18 May 2011, Scocco scored a 38-yard shot against PAOK for AEK to take the lead in a 2–1 away defeat.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/football/paok-aek-2-1.7932622.html|title=ΠΑΟΚ - ΑΕΚ 2-1|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} Due to financial problems, AEK Athens had to sell Scocco (cheaper than his buy-out clause, if necessary), to relieve itself of his expensive contract.
=Al Ain=
In June 2011, Scocco joined Al Ain for €2.8 million{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/sthles/lefta-me-oyra-i-nea-omada-toy-skoko-al-ain.7934315.html|title=Λεφτά με ουρά η νέα ομάδα του Σκόκο Αλ Αΐν|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} signing a contract worth €4.8 million per season plus a €1 million bonus if Al Ain win the UAE Championship. In the 2011-12 season, Al Ain won the championship and later he left UAE by not signing a new contract deal due to family reasons. In August 2011, Scocco was loaned to Newell's Old Boys, and returned to Argentina and his family after a six-year absence from his home country.
=Return to Argentina and Newell's=
Scocco returned to his homeland, Argentina, to join Newell's Old Boys, his first professional team, as well as other Argentine stars such as Gabriel Heinze and Maxi Rodríguez. Newell's finished second in the Championship, and as a result entered the Copa Libertadores next season. Scocco played an important role for his team, scoring 13 goals and became the top scorer of the league alongside Facundo Ferreyra of Vélez Sársfield. During the season Newells rejected a €3 million offer from Fenerbahçe considering the offer too low, having set Scocco 7m buy out clause. His impressive performances in Argentine Primera División, Copa Libertadores and his two-goal debut in the national team against Brazil attracted the interest of Atlético Madrid.{{Cite web|url=http://www.taringa.net/posts/deportes/16833582/Atletico-Madrid-tambien-quiere-a-Scocco.html|title=Atlético Madrid también quiere a Scocco - Deportes|date=14 June 2013 }}
Scocco also led his team to win the 2013 Torneo Final championship and proceed to the Final of the Argentine Primera División against the 2012 Torneo Inicial winners, Vélez Sársfield, the team who deprived Newell's of the first place. Scocco scored 11 goals for his team and retained his position as top scorer of the Championship in 2013 season, sharing his position, this time with Emanuel Gigliotti of Colón. On 30 June, Newell's lost 1–0 on the final of the Championship although dominating in all the duration of the match. Newell's reached 2013 Copa Libertadores semi final, that they were eliminated by Ronaldinho's Atlético Mineiro in a penalty shootout (2–0 loss in the real time, in a 2–2 aggregate followed by the Newell's 2–0 victory on the first leg). Scocco scored six goals in the tournament and finished second scorer alongside Diego Tardelli, behind Jô.
=Internacional=
On 1 July 2013, Scocco joined Internacional for €4.25 million rejecting the offer from São Paulo.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/45484_sao_paulo_enquire_about_newell_s_forward_ignacio_scocco_-_report.html|title=São Paulo enquire about Newell's forward Ignacio Scocco}} On 15 August, Scocco scored two goals in a minute against Botafogo in a 3–3 draw.
=Sunderland=
On 30 January 2014, Sunderland completed the transfer of Scocco for €3.65 million, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal, as one of Gus Poyet's four transfer window signings.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25933649|title=Transfer window: Ignacio Scocco joins Sunderland|publisher=BBC Sport|date=30 January 2014|access-date=24 July 2014}}
Asked about Scocco in April, South American football expert Tim Vickery wrote in his weekly BBC Sport column: "He might not be a big target man centre-forward, but he has some penalty area presence and moves outside the area with fluidity and intelligence." Although Sunderland avoided relegation, Scocco failed to score in eight appearances, all of which came from the bench.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28455948|title=Sunderland striker Ignacio Scocco signs for Newell's Old Boys|publisher=BBC Sport|date=24 July 2014}} He was an unused substitute as the side lost the 2014 Football League Cup Final 3–1 to Manchester City on 2 March.{{cite news|last1=McNulty|first1=Phil|title=Man City 3-1 Sunderland|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26311649|access-date=12 September 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=2 March 2014}}

=Newell's Old Boys, third spell=
On 13 July 2014, Scocco joined Newell's Old Boys for €2.7 million, on a five years' contract.{{Cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/br/news/805/transfer%C3%AAncias/2014/07/23/4979710/newells-old-boys-confirma-a-contrata%C3%A7%C3%A3o-de-ignacio-scocco|title=Newell's Old Boys confirma a contratação de Ignacio Scocco}} On his presentation at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, 7,000 fans were gathered in the stadium.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gazzetta.gr/football/article/637090/latreia-gia-skoko|title=Λατρεία για Σκόκο|website=gazzetta.gr|lang=el}} He was given his favourite number, "32".
After the 2014–15 season, Scocco's future at Newell's Old Boys was in doubt, and he was linked with a return to AEK Athens.[http://www.sdna.gr/gr/news-in-english/arthro-news-in-english/45093/scocco-receives-lucrative-aek-offer/ Scocco receives lucrative AEK offer] Retrieved 16 June 2015[http://www.sdna.gr/gr/news-in-english/arthro-news-in-english/47397/aek-still-very-eager-in-signing-scocco/ AEK still very eager in signing Scocco] Retrieved 25 June 2015 Eventually, despite the improved offer by AEK, Nacho Scocco has decided to stay at Newell's Old Boys.[http://www.sdna.gr/gr/news-in-english/arthro-news-in-english/55590/scocco-rejects-aek-offer/ Scocco rejects AEK offer] Retrieved 27 July 2015
In June 2017, Scocco was again linked with a return to AEK Athens. Newell's Old Boys was dealing with financial problems, leaving the 32-year old unpaid for over five months.{{cite web |url=http://www.sport24.gr/football/omades/Aek/se-anoikth-grammh-me-skoko-h-aek.4704214.html |title=Σε ανοικτή γραμμή με τον Σκόκο η ΑΕΚ |publisher=www.sport24.gr |date=3 June 2017}}
He left the club after 155 appearances (67 goals, 13 assists) in all competitions.
=River Plate=
On 29 June 2017, Scocco chose River Plate as his next destination, signing a three-year contract for a transfer fee of $3,000,000. The transfer procedures lasted for days, as Judge Fabián Bellizia, who runs the Newell's trust, rejected River Plate's first offer of $1,800,000. Despite an initial offer of $2,600,000 from Independiente and the loan of Lucas Albertengo being rejected, Scocco insisted to play in the Monumental. The manager of River Plate wanted to have Scocco as soon as possible, as he would replace Sebastián Driussi, who had joined Zenit Saint Petersburg for €20 million.{{cite web |url=https://www.clarin.com/deportes/futbol/river-plate/scocco-quiere-ponerse-banda-decide-juez-fideicomiso-newells_0_BJ72lp1EW.html |title=Scocco quiere ponerse la banda pero decide el juez del fideicomiso de Newells |publisher=www.clarin.com |date=27 June 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://lapaginamillonaria.com/river-plate/38600/ignacio-scocco-firmo-contrato-con-river-mercado-de-pases-2017 |title=Scocco selló su vínculo con River |publisher=lapaginamillonaria.com |date=29 June 2017 |access-date=1 July 2017 |archive-date=5 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170905172444/http://lapaginamillonaria.com/river-plate/38600/ignacio-scocco-firmo-contrato-con-river-mercado-de-pases-2017 |url-status=dead }} On 4 July 2017, he made his debut in the club as a starter in a 2–0 away win against Guarani in the 2017 Copa Libertadores.{{cite web |url=http://www.espnfc.com/club/river-plate/16/index |title=Floodlights, new River players make for Copa Libertadores knockout drama|publisher=www.espnfc.com |date=5 July 2017}}

On 4 February 2018, Scocco scored a wonderful goal in a 2–0 home win game against Club Olimpo. 'Nacho' received the ball in the centre of the field, swivelled around and with 8 touches ran more than half the length of the field, dribbling past five outfield players before he left goalkeeper Jorge Carranza on his backside with a feint, and slotted the ball into the net. Fans claimed that was the best goal of the last decade in international football.{{cite web |url=https://mifutbolecuador.wordpress.com/2018/02/04/el-gol-a-lo-messi-de-ignacio-scocco-con-river-plate/ |title=El gol "a lo Messi" de Ignacio Scocco con River Plate |publisher=mifutbolecuador.wordpress.com |date=4 February 2018}}{{cite web |url=http://lapaginamillonaria.com/river-plate/41771/gol-scocco-river-vs-olimpo-preseleccion-premio-puskas-fifa-2018 |title=El golazo de Scocco en la preselección del premio Puskás de la FIFA |publisher=lapaginamillonaria.com |date=4 February 2018}}

Scocco's injury occurred in the first half of the game that River lost against Estudiantes 1–0 in the Superliga. River Plate's coach Marcelo Gallardo's idea is to preserve him so that he gets in good condition for the rematch, on Saturday the 24th.{{cite web |url=https://lapaginamillonaria.com/riverplate/river-plate-ignacio-scocco-dolencias-gemelo-derecho-en-duda-vs-boca-final-copa-libertadores-2018-20181109-0002.html |title=Alerta en River: Scocco está en duda para jugar contra Boca|publisher=lapaginamillonaria.com|date=9 November 2018}}
Scocco began the 2019-20 season as a substitute of Rafael Santos Borré, but he succeeded to have four goals in the league this year, and has struggled as a replacement for most of the Copa Libertadores games on a path that brings River Plate to the 2019 Copa Libertadores final for the second consecutive season, this time against Flamengo.{{cite web|url=https://www.contra.gr/podosfairo/o-oionos-poy-prosferei-ston-skoko-ena-mnimeiodes-antio.7536962.html|title=Ο οιωνός που προσφέρει στον Σκόκο ένα μνημειώδες 'αντίο'|website=contra.gr|date=22 November 2019|lang=el}}
