About Mauro Goicoechea

Mauro Daniel Goicoechea Furia (born 27 March 1988) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Uruguayan Primera División team Danubio.

In 2006, he signed his first professional contract with Danubio. Thanks to his good performances, he became the goalkeeper holder and his number was changed to 1. He played a total of 79 games with the club.

In August 2012, Goicoechea moved to A.S. Roma on a loan until the end of the season. He made his debut in a 3–2 loss against Parma F.C. in a second half, substituting injured Maarten Stekelenburg. Goicoechea followed this up with an impressive display in the 4–1 victory over Palermo. He then started the following six games, against Lazio, Torino, Pescara and Siena, but following a string of unimpressive results and Zdeněk Zeman's sacking, which included an awful own goal in Zeman's last day in charge, Stekelenburg was reinstated as the primary goalkeeper.

In January 2014, Goicoechea signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Romanian football club Oțelul Galați.
