Damián Manusovich — Empire FGA Bio Stub

This is a bio stub, not a graded Empire FGA profile. There is no video evidence behind this page — no OBI/SII, no core-12 sub-metrics, no ultProxy. Every field below comes from a single secondary source: the PC Fútbol — Base de Datos Apertura 97 player database (Dinamic Multimedia, 1997 copyright). Facts (dates, heights, match/goal counts) are reproduced directly since facts aren't copyrightable. The database's own scouting prose has been paraphrased, not quoted, to respect its copyright.

Follow-up to a San Lorenzo de Almagro 1997 batch sourced from the same PC Fútbol database as the Boca Juniors and Vélez Sarsfield batches. The first pass processed 16 of an original 20 referenced PDFs (14 added as bio stubs, 2 excluded — Domingo Cardozo, Adrián Coria — both still registered to their prior clubs through Clausura '97 per their own trajectory tables); the remaining 4 (Luiz Fernando, Lussenhoff, Manusovich, Meloño) were logged as "missing" at the time. This follow-up batch received the full 27-file folder: the 16 already-processed files plus 11 new ones — the 4 previously-missing names plus 7 never seen before (Núñez, Paredes, Passet, Paulo Silas, Rivadero, Saric, Tuzzio). Of those 11, 8 are confirmed genuine Clausura '97 San Lorenzo squad members and added here. 3 are excluded: Lussenhoff and Meloño turn out not to be squad members at all, contrary to their earlier "missing" label — both are incoming Apertura '97 signings per their own trajectory tables (Lussenhoff still at Toros Neza in Mexico, Meloño still at Uruguay's Rentistas, through Clausura '97). Paredes is a third, newly-found exclusion for the same reason — still registered to Ferro Carril Oeste through Clausura '97.

Profile

Plays left back, and can also cover left midfield though he's been less effective there. Very disciplined; not the most technically gifted player, but gives total effort every time he wears the shirt. Built a following among San Lorenzo supporters for that commitment, on top of steadily earning a regular starting spot since he arrived.

Career to date (as of mid-1997)

Began at Atlanta in the Nacional B, then moved to Vélez Sarsfield, debuting in Primera on 2 May 1992 against San Lorenzo — he barely featured there, just 2 appearances across 4 tournaments. Frustrated at the lack of chances, he moved to San Lorenzo, starting as a squad player before gradually working his way into both the starting XI and supporters' affection. Won the 1995 Clausura title with the club, his first as a professional. From the left back slot he offers little in the way of flair, but leaves everything on the pitch defending the shirt. Undisputed starter throughout Clausura '97 under Castelli — always solid in the tackle, and a real threat going forward with his overlapping runs; no career goals, but plenty of assists, across 18 matches in Clausura '97.
