Ángel Roberto Amarilla Lezcano (born 27 July 1981) is a Paraguayan former professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Football career[edit]
Born in Eusebio Ayala, Amarilla was signed by Valencia CF in the summer of 1999, being hailed as of one of the biggest promises in his country after playing as a 17-year-old for Atlético de Rafaela, which led his agent Eduardo Gamarnik trying to find a club for him in Europe. He was initially assigned to the B-team.
On 21 November 2000 Amarilla made his first – and only – official appearance for the main squad, with coach Héctor Cúper fielding him in a 2–0 home win against SK Sturm Graz for the season's UEFA Champions League second group stage.[1] Released by the Che in June 2006 after several loans,[2][3][4] he resumed his career in the Spanish lower leagues, mainly with UD Alzira and mostly in the Valencian Community.
