Lucas Licht

Born in Berisso in the Buenos Aires Province and nicknamed Bochi, Licht grew up in the youth academy of Gimnasia La Plata, initially being deployed as a forward and later as a midfielder and making his professional debut in 2001. For three years, Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Haifa had him on its transfer shortlist due to his Jewish heritage, as he would not count as a foreigner; he eventually joined Maccabi Netanya for a trial, but nothing materialised. Following another unsuccessful trial in Israel, with Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, Licht returned to Argentina where he played one last season with Gimnasia. In 2006's Clausura, he struck from 40 meters to score the game's only goal away against Independiente. Licht joined La Liga side Getafe on 17 July 2006, signing a four-year contract. In his first season, he only appeared in eight games as a backup to Javier Paredes, but became the undisputed starter after the latter joined Real Zaragoza. On 22 December 2007, he scored his only goal for the Madrid outskirts team in a 2–0 away win over Almería, adding eight matches in their quarter-final run in the UEFA Cup. On 24 November 2009, having been deemed surplus to requirements by manager Míchel – he failed to make a matchday squad in the vast majority of official matches– Licht was released and returned to his country, agreeing to a three-year deal with Racing Club de Avellaneda. He then spent nine seasons at his former employers Gimnasia LP, all but one in the Argentine…

Licht served as manager of Villa San Carlos in the first half of 2024. In March 2025, he joined the technical staff of Martín Rolón at Talleres de Escalada as assistant coach.
