Career

Early career

Cafasso began his football at River Plate.^[2] Because he was not playing enough, he switched teams multiple times.^[1]^[2] He seemed to have finally found his place at Guaraní, but decided to move to Italy short after he signed for them.^[1]^[2]

Italy / Greece

Treviso was the first European team Caffaso played for.^[1]^[2] He then opted to move to Greece, at Ionikos, but did not earn a lot of matches here as well.^[2]

Gloria Bistrița

Before moving to Gloria, he had another failed spell at Guaraní.^[2] In Romania, Cafasso established himself as a key player very quickly.^[1]^[2] In spite of Gloria's relegation to Liga II, he chose not to leave the club and contributed to Gloria's promotion the following season.^[2]^[3] As of the 2012–13 season, he was chosen to be Gloria's captain by coach Nicolae Manea, thus becoming the first foreign captain in the club's history.^[4]^[5] He was released from Gloria in January 2013 when the club was put under administration.
