Andrés Ricardo Aimar Giordano (born 18 November 1981) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Estudiantes de Río Cuarto as a midfielder.

Football career

Born in Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Aimar started his professional career with Club Atlético River Plate, but could only amass three first-team appearances during two seasons. In the 2003–04 season, he played for fellow Argentine Primera División club Estudiantes de La Plata.

After an unassuming spell in the Belgian Third Division with Union Royale Namur, Aimar returned to his country, joining Club Atlético Belgrano. Shortly after he moved abroad again, spending the following months with Israel's F.C. Ashdod and finishing the campaign with another team in Argentina, Primera B Nacional's Club Atlético Aldosivi.

For 2008–09, Aimar moved overseas for the third time, again having no impact whatsoever as he only appeared in four Segunda Liga matches (out of a possible 30) for Portuguese side G.D. Estoril Praia.[1][2][3]

In 2009, Aimar signed with hometown club Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.

Personal life

Aimar's older brother, Pablo, was also a footballer and a midfielder. Having also started professionally with River Plate he played for, amongst others, Valencia CF and S.L. Benfica, also appearing for the Argentine national team in two FIFA World Cups.[4]
