Hugo Armando Campagnaro (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈuɣo]; born 27 June 1980) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a centre back for Italian club Pescara in Serie A.
A full international for Argentina since 2012, Campagnaro has earned 17 caps for his country, and two years later was selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where he won a runners-up medal.
He started his career at Club Deportivo Morón, playing in the Argentine second and third division. In 2002, having not played first division football, he was signed by Piacenza, who were in Serie A at the time.
In the summer of 2007, he was signed by Sampdoria in preparation for their 2007 UEFA Intertoto Cup campaign. Campagnaro was worth €1.55 million at the time.
On 9 July 2009 he was sold to Napoli for €7 million, as part of the deal Daniele Mannini moved to Sampdoria in a joint-ownership bid for €3.5 million; he signed a four-year contract.
Campagnaro made his debut with Napoli on 23 August 2009 in week one of the 2009–10 Serie A season against Palermo, playing the entire match in a 2–1 away loss. Later, in March 2010, he scored his first goal for Napoli after an assist by Ezequiel Lavezzi in a 1–1 draw against Milan at the San Siro. He finished his first season with Napoli having played 30 matches, 28 of which were in Serie A, with Napoli finishing 6th place in the league and qualifying for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League play-off round.
