Club career

Colotto started his professional career with Estudiantes de La Plata, making his top division debut on 16 February 2001, in a 1–1 draw against Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield, and eventually became an automatic first-choice with the La Plata side.

In December 2004, Tecos UAG from Mexico paid paid US$1,100,000 for his services and, almost three years later, Colotto was signed by another side in the country, Club Atlas, playing nearly 150 official matches between the two.

On 30 August 2008, Colotto signed for Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain, for 2.5 million, with the player being reunited with former Atlas teammate Andrés Guardado.[1] In his first season in La Liga, he backed up Alberto Lopo and Zé Castro but, on 2 October, scored twice against SK Brann in the first round of the UEFA Cup: after the Galicians lost 0–2 in Norway, his brace - after heading home two corner kicks - took the game to extra time and an eventual penalty shootout, where the home team prevailed to reach the group stage.[2]

In the following seasons, Colotto relegated Portuguese Castro to the bench and partnered Lopo at the heart of the back sector, under Miguel Ángel Lotina. In 2009–10, two of his three league goals came in both matches against CD Tenerife (1–0 away,[3] 3–1 at the Estadio Riazor[4]) as Deportivo finished tenth.

International career

Colotto was part of the Argentine under-20 team that competed at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship on home soil. During the competition, he played all the matches and minutes for the eventual winners, scoring in the final against Ghana (3–0).[5]
