Carlos Alberto Yaqué (born 12 September 1971) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played as a forward.[1]
Almagro were the club who gave Yaqué his start in senior football, with the forward appearing for the team in Primera B Metropolitana between 1989 and 1992.[2] Yaqué moved abroad for the first time in 1992, signing for Colombia's Real Cartagena of Categoría Primera A.[2] He departed midway through the year after just one appearance, as the club went on to suffer relegation.[2] Yaqué had returned to Argentina with Nueva Chicago.[2] After spending 1992–93 with them, Yaqué returned to third tier Almagro in 1994.[2] They won promotion to Primera B Nacional in his second campaign back.[2] He remained there for one further season.[2]
In 1997, Yaqué completed a move to Argentine Primera División side Ferro Carril Oeste.[2] Nine goals in twenty-eight fixtures followed.[2] 1998 saw Yaqué leave his homeland once more, agreeing terms with Reggina of the Italian Serie B.[2] [3] He left halfway into the 1998–99 season, signing for Estudiantes in early 1999.[4] [5] Yaqué stuck with Estudiantes until the middle of 2000, which was followed by him signing a contract with Universitario.[2] He scored eight goals for the Peruvians, which preceded Argentinos Juniors becoming Yaqué's eighth club.[2] His return to Argentina lasted until 2002, when Ecuador's L.D.U. Quito signed Yaqué.[2]
Yaqué, having featured eighteen times and netted eight goals in the Ecuadorian Serie A, had a stint in European football for the second time in 2003, after spending time with Ceuta in Segunda División B - scoring five times in twelve matches.[2] A move to Huracán sealed a return to Argentina, where he would stay for the rest of his career.[2] Thirty appearances with Huracán came, before Yaqué experienced 2004–05 with Defensores de Belgrano in tier two; though it would end with relegation.[2] He rejoined Almagro for a third time in 2005, prior to having spells with Villa Mitre and Los Andes; who he'd score twenty-one goals for.[2] [1] [6] [7]
After being sent off in his final appearance for Los Andes, Yaqué joined Almagro for a fourth time in 2009.[2] [1] He took his overall league tally for Almagro to two hundred and thirty-two games and one hundred and fifty-five goals - including ten goals in 2009–10, where he netted against former teams Los Andes and Nueva Chicago.[2] [1] [8] Yaqué also scored home and away that season in fixtures with Comunicaciones, a club he would later join in 2011.[2] [1] However, prior to that, Yaqué played for Sarmiento - he found the net four times for the Junín outfit.[2] [1] The final goal of his career came on 22 August 2011 during a defeat to Brown.[1]
Yaqué's sons, Nahuel and Nicolás, are professional footballers; they both played for Almagro at differing levels within the club.[9] [10] Since retirement, Yaqué has worked as an agent; including for Lautaro Martínez.[11] [12] [13]
