Career & Clubs
Cagna was born in Buenos Aires. His first professional first-division match was in December 1988, with Argentinos Juniors. He transferred to Independiente at the beginning of 1992, where he played for four years. Cagna then went on to join Boca Juniors from the Apertura 1996 until the end of 1999 when, at 29 years of age and after finishing the Apertura 1999, he moved to La Liga side Villarreal CF. He played two seasons with the Yellow Submarine, and after playing the Apertura 2002 with Primera División de México club Atlético Celaya, he returned to Boca Juniors in 2003 and retired in 2005. In total, Cagna played 255 games for Boca, scoring 21 goals.
With the Argentina national team Cagna won the Confederations Cup 1992, and participated in the Copa América 1999. His only goal for the national team was on 15 April 1998 friendly match against Israel in Jerusalem, which Argentina lost 2–1.
In December 2006, he became Tigre's manager, taking the club to the first division in only one season.

This was Tigre's highest ever finish in the top division, gaining Cagna notoriety from fans and the sports press.

Tigre had the best head-to-head record, San Lorenzo the best goal difference but Boca Juniors won the three-way championship playoff on goal difference after the three teams once again finished level on points. Cagna then guided Tigre to qualification to an international club competition for the first time in their history at the end of the 2008–09 season. Tigre appeared in the 2009 Copa Sudamericana, where they were eliminated in the first round by San Lorenzo. Having taken Tigre into the last game of two championship seasons with the possibility of winning the championship and led them to international qualification for the first time in their history, his fortunes turned in the Apertura 2009 where Tigre finished bottom of the table with only 8 points from 19 games prompting his resignation on 14 December 2009 after over three years with the club. The former Chacarita coach replaces on 20 April 2010 Hugo Tocalli as Head Coach by Colo-Colo. Unfortunately, Cagna's results with the twenty-nine time Chilean champions have…
