About Ezequiel Schelotto
Ezequiel Matías Schelotto (Spanish pronunciation: [eseˈkjel maˈti.as eskeˈloto], Italian: [skeˈlɔtto]; born 23 May 1989) is an Argentine-Italian footballer who plays for Paradiso in the Swiss Promotion League. A versatile player on the right flank, he started his career as a winger and was later converted into a full-back. Born in Argentina of Italian descent, Schelotto moved to Italy in 2008 to play for Cesena. He chose to represent Italy at international level, earning a full cap for the national side in 2012 while an Atalanta player. In 2013, he joined Inter Milan and spent the next two years on loan at several Serie A sides before making a move to Sporting CP in Portugal and then to Brighton & Hove Albion in England. Following a brief loan spell at Chievo in 2019, he was released from his contract with Brighton, after which he agreed to return to Argentina with Racing in early 2021. Despite his contract only running out in December 2023, Racing Club allowed Schelotto to leave on a free transfer to Aldosivi in the summer of 2022. He is nicknamed El Galgo ("The Greyhound" in Spanish) due to his running skills and, less frequently, El Mosquetero ("The Musketeer"). During the first half of the 2010–11 campaign, Schelotto made 17 league appearances with one goal. Schelotto started his first match for the Sicilians on 6 February 2011, a match that Catania lost 1–0 away to Bologna, in part due to an early red card to defender Pablo Álvarez. But he did not debut in the first team as he emigrated to European football. As he left the club in January 2011, he earned €268,333.31 from Cesena for the first seven months of the 2010–11 season.
