Juan Nelusco Perinetti (1891 – 31 July 1957) was an Argentine footballer.
Born in Remedios de Escalada, Buenos Aires Province, Perinetti joined Racing Club in 1906, having previously played for Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, a club where he was a founding member and later became president.[1] [2]
Perinetti was a key figure during Racing's golden era in the amateur leagues, contributing significantly to the club's unprecedented run of seven consecutive league titles between 1913 and 1919. Perinetti was a prolific goal-scorer, netting 99 goals for Racing, making him one of the club’s top scorers in its history.
In 1925, Perinetti returned to Talleres as captain and was a key figure in the team that won the Intermedia championship.
He played in 17 matches for the Argentina national football team from 1915 and 1919. He was also part of Argentina's squad for the 1916, 1917, and 1919 South American Championships.[3]
