Pulga Rodríguez Delays Retirement to Sign With Boyhood Club Ñuñorco in Tucumán

He chose the move for proximity to home, with preseason tests to determine his availability.

Overview

  • The 41-year-old forward was officially presented and signed with Ñuñorco of the Liga Tucumana, joining preseason this week.
  • He said the club will evaluate his physical condition during preseason before he is cleared to play competitively.
  • The decision comes days after reports of his retirement from professional football following his last official match for Colón on Oct. 5, 2025.
  • Rodríguez cited lifelong ties and closeness to Monteros—naming club president Mauricio Ovejero and ex-president Francisco “Pancho” Serra—as key reasons for accepting.
  • Ñuñorco, newly back in the league’s top division, hails his arrival as a morale and visibility boost, as Colón prepares a June farewell event that his entourage says remains the plan.
