Juan Pablo Caffa (born 30 September 1984) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a left winger.

His nickname was "El violinista del Viaducto" (literally translated as "The violinist of the viaduct"), as he played an imaginary violin during his goal celebrations.[1][2] His professional career, other than in his own country where he represented Boca Juniors, Ferro Carril Oeste and Arsenal de Sarandí (two spells), was spent in Spain, Greece, Uruguay, Ecuador and the United States.

Club career

Argentina

Born in Murphy, Santa Fe, Caffa was part of Club Atlético Boca Juniors youth system, being already with the first team when it won the 2003 Apertura, although he only featured in one league match.

In the following years, he played with Ferro Carril Oeste and Arsenal de Sarandí.

Spain

After a number of strong displays with Arsenal during the 2006 Apertura tournament, Caffa earned a 2 million transfer to Real Betis in the January 2007 transfer window.[3] He played his first La Liga match on 4 February against Athletic Bilbao,[4] but went scoreless in his six season appearances, also not finding the net in his first full campaign although he did not start regularly for the Andalusians.

In 2008–09, Caffa played on loan with Real Zaragoza,[5] being an important attacking element as they returned to the first division after just one year out.[6] Again at Betis, he appeared in 32 games – although only ten starts[7]– and scored seven goals,[8] but the club failed to regain top-flight status.[9]

Return to Argentina

In early December 2010, Caffa bought out the remainder of his contract with Betis[9] and returned to Argentina to his former team Arsenal, agreeing on a three-year contract.[10]
