Cristian Alejandro La Grottería (born 25 July 1974) is a retired Argentine footballer. He also has Italian citizenship.

Playing career

La Grottería began his career playing professionally at Estudiantes de La Plata. He also had short spells with Argentine lower division club Club Atlético San Martín (San Juan) and San Martín de Mendoza. His previous clubs in Italy include Padova, Palermo and Ancona. He retired in June 2011 after two seasons with Lega Pro Seconda Divisione club Bassano Virtus.

Post-playing and coaching career

After retirement, La Grottería agreed to stay at Bassano Virtus in a non-playing role as a technical area coordinator.[1] He then also served as assistant coach [2] on a couple different stints before leaving the club in February 2017 to become Mario Petrone's assistant at Catania.[3][4] He left the club just a few weeks later, on 8 March 2017, following Petrone's resignations.[5]
