Biography
Club career
Apart from a short stint in the United States (with Miami Toros in 1976), Enrique Casaretto spent his entire career in Peru. He made his debut with Atlético Grau in 1962, but it was with Universitario de Deportes that he distinguished himself in the late 1960s, forming an attacking line – notably with Percy Rojas and Ángel Uribe – that allowed the Merengue club to win three Peruvian championships in 1966, 1967 and 1969.
International career
A Peruvian international from 1968 to 1975, Enrique Casaretto played 10 matches and scored eight goals.[2] He played a major role in Peru's qualification for the 1975 Copa América final, scoring twice in the semi-final against Brazil in Belo Horizonte. Paradoxically, he did not play in the final, which his team won against Colombia.
Death
Cassaretto passed away at the age of 75, after being hospitalized in recent days due to pulmonary fibrosis.[3]
