R.I.P Antonio de Nigris 01.08.1978 - 15.11.2009

This is a Spanish name; the first family name is De Nigris and the second is Guajardo.

Antonio de Nigris Guajardo (April 1, 1978 - November 16, 2009) was a Mexican footballer who last played with Larissa, as a striker.

Club career

Interested in sports at a young age, De Nigris began his football career with Rayados de Monterrey. He then played for two seasons in Spain (first and second divisions), with little impact at Villarreal CF and modest Polideportivo Ejido, returning to America with Once Caldas, with whom, in the 2004 Intercontinental Cup, he scored in the penalty shootout defeat against F.C. Porto.

After another stint in Mexico, de Nigris was signed by Santos FC of Brazil on March 20, 2006, making his debut against Brasiliense in a Brazilian Cup match. However, in late 2006, he switched to Turkey, playing in quick succession for three teams in the country: Gaziantepspor, Ankaraspor and Ankaragücü.

International career

A Mexican international since 2001, de Nigris represented his nation at the Copa América 2001.

After a seven-year absence in the national squad, he was called by national coach Hugo Sánchez for a friendly match against the United States, on February 6, 2008. He underperformed in that match and was substituted, but would also appear against Ghana in London. de Nigris played between his death 16 games and scores four goals for his homeland.[1]

Personal life

De Nigris' younger brother Aldo is also a footballer, while older sibling Alfonso is a male model.

Death

It was confirmed by Fernando Urdiales, president of CF Monterrey[2], that de Nigris died on November 16, 2009, apparently of a heart attack.[3]

Çok basit Türkiye de kalp sorunları yüzünden futbol oynayamaz kararı alındı Ankaraspor futbolcuyu serbest bıraktı fakat de Nigris Yunanistan'a gitti orada futbol oynayabilir kararı alındı bir maçta veya antremanda kalp kirizinden öldü.

Anlıyacağın Yunanlılar öldürdü.
