Fabián Larry Estoyanoff Poggio (born 27 September 1982) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a winger for Centro Atlético Fénix .
Club career
Born in Montevideo , Estoyanoff started his career at Centro Atlético Fénix in 2000, and was loaned to Peñarol two years later. In 2005 he signed a five-year contract with Valencia CF in Spain,[ 1] but never represented the club during his tenure, which included several loan spells.[ 2]
Estoyanoff made his La Liga debut in the 2005–06 season , appearing regularly as Cádiz CF [ 3] were relegated. The following campaign , he also featured consistently for Deportivo de La Coruña (although mainly as a substitute ),[ 4] scoring the game's only goal in a start against RCD Mallorca at home, through a penalty .[ 5]
Valencia loaned Estoyanoff again for 2007–08 , and he started out with Real Valladolid ,[ 6] where a lack of playing time prompted another loan, with a return to Uruguay and Peñarol in January 2008.[ 7] There, he once again teamed up with Carlos Bueno ; he played in Spain as a non-foreigner, having received an Italian passport .[ 8]
Estoyanoff was finally released by Valencia in June 2008, eventually agreeing on a move to Panionios FC , having a successful first season in the Super League Greece . In 2010, the 28-year-old re-joined former side Peñarol on loan, and the move was made permanent the following year.[ 9]
In January 2015, Estoyanoff signed for Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Professional League . On 5 May, after his team had suffered a 1–3 home loss to Lekhwiya SC in the AFC Champions League , he attacked opposing player Nam Tae-hee from behind in the tunnel, being subsequently fined in 50% of his salary.[ 10]
International career
Estoyanoff made his debut for Uruguay on 25 July 2001 in that year 's Copa América , playing the final 15 minutes in a 2–1 semi-final defeat against Mexico .[ 11] [ 12] Subsequently, he appeared at the 2004 – scoring twice for the eventual third-placed nation[ 13] – and 2007 continental tournaments .[ 14]
Personal life
Estoyanoff's grandfather , Dimitar Stoyanov, was a Bulgarian stock breeder from the Sofia Valley who emigrated to Uruguay during the Balkan Wars (1912–13).[ 15]
