Argentina success
The 27-year-old will have a four-year contract at the Riazor after Deportivo paid €2.5m to bring him to the Spanish Liga. Colotto, part of the Argentina team that won the 2001 FIFA U-20 World Cup, moves to Galicia after making 35 league appearances for Atlas, whom he had joined from local rivals CF Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in 2007. The centre-back began his career at Club Estudiantes LP, scoring four goals in 119 Argentinian championship games before transferring to Mexico, and UAG, in 2004/05.
