José Martín Cáceres Silva (Spanish pronunciation: [marˈtiŋ ˈkaseɾes]; born 7 April 1987) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender. He most recently played for Juventus.
After starting out at Defensor, he was bought by Spanish club Villarreal in 2007. In the following years he competed in Spain and Italy, notably winning five Serie A titles with Juventus and the 2009 Champions League with Barcelona; despite his ability, his career was limited by several injuries.
An Uruguayan international since the age of 20, Cáceres represented the country in two World Cups, the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2011 Copa América, winning the latter tournament.
Born in Montevideo, Cáceres started his career with hometown's Defensor Sporting, becoming a first-team regular at a young age and competing in one full Primera División season with the team. In early February 2007 he had already signed for Spanish club Villarreal, with the deal being made effective in July.
Upon arriving at Villarreal, Cáceres was immediately sent on loan to fellow La Liga side Recreativo, being one of the most used players during the season and often partnering Beto in central defense as the Andalusians managed to retain their division status, finishing in 16th position; on 9 January 2008 he scored against the club that owned his rights in the season's Copa del Rey (1–0 home win, but 1–2 loss on aggregate), and never appeared officially for the former.
