Leonardo "Leo" Gabriel Tambussi (born 2 September 1981) is a retired football player from Mar del Plata in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
Club career[edit]
Born in Mar del Plata, Tambussi began playing senior football with Racing Club. By age 19, he was a promising prospect as a central defender for Racing, however on his agent's advice, he refused to sign a new contract with Racing during the Clausura Torneo of the 2000–01 Argentine Primera División and was separated from the squad. After making an appeal to free himself from his existing contract, he had to accept the AFA's decision in favor of Racing and continue at the club.[1]
Tambussi has also played for Arsenal de Sarandí in Argentina, and Dorados and Club Tijuana in Mexico.
Tambussi played in the Primeira Liga with Boavista F.C., but after suffering a serious knee injury during the 2007–08 season, he left the club for Liga de Honra side Portimonense S.C. in July 2008.[2]
