Career
Early career
Football runs through Nicolás Quagliata's veins. His father, Óscar, was a top scorer, ideal for the harsh Uruguayan soccer and is currently Pablo Repetto's technical assistant in Nacional. Therefore, his journey was taking place naturally. From the home corner to baby football. From the baby to the formative ones. From juniors to First. He started with the number 25 and today he already wears the 10 of Wanderers. Paddock talent, professional mentality and enjoyment of the road traveled.
Quagliata, who is now 1.72 m tall, was one of the youngest at Defensor and between the ages of 12 and 13, following the prescription of an endocrinologist, he underwent growth hormone treatment, the same procedure for which he had Lionel Messi had to go through when he was in training at Newell's Old Boys and one of the reasons why he emigrated to Barcelona.[2]
Montevideo Wanderers
Nicolás graduated from Montevideo Wanderers B, and made his debut on 12 May 2019 in a match against C.A. Cerro, for the year's Primera División. In 2020, the bohemian DT became Mauricio Larriera who did not call him for the first three games of the Apertura after which the tournament was paralyzed for five months due to the coronavirus pandemic. In August, when football returned, he entered the team's rotation, although Larriera's cycle ended with the Apertura. Since Intermediate 2021, Wanderers is directed by Daniel Carreño. His name sounded like a possible reinforcement of Nacional, where his father is a technical assistant, and in Peñarol, where Larriera knows him first-hand.
Since Carreño directs Wanderers, the team has been a finalist in Intermedio 2020 (lost on penalties in January 2021 against Nacional), was ninth in Clausura 2020, 11th in Apertura 2021 and third in Clausura 2021. has reached the regularity necessary to fight for a short tournament. Hand in hand with the talent of Quagliata, he will try it in this Apertura 2022. As a right-handed midfielder who plays on the left, Quagliata admires and looks up to Philippe Coutinho and Giorgian De Arrascaeta a lot.
