Montero joins San Lorenzo
Thursday 4 August, 2005
Paolo Iglesias Montero has left Italian football after the stopper joined Argentine side San Lorenzo.
The Uruguayan has spent the last 13 years in the peninsula during spells at Atalanta and then Juventus.
Montero has joined the outfit on a free transfer after his contract at Juventus expired, nine years following his arrival.
"I thank Italy for all that it has given me," explained the 33-year-old. "After such a splendid experience, I will return to play in South America.
"This is something that I have wanted to do for some time and that is why I refused offers from a number of European clubs."
Montero, the most sent-off player in Serie A history, has signed a one-year contract with his new side.
In other transfer news, Siena defender Simone Barone, who spent last term on loan at Napoli, has joined Verona.
Perugia defender Mauro Milanese has left the club after agreeing a one-year contract with Queens Park Rangers.
