Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.

How this page is put together

The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.

Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.

Where do these figures come from?

ClubSeasons Seasons recorded

Inter2005–20139

The record spans 14 years, from 2003 to 2016, across 4 clubs, with 3 moves between them. The longest single spell was at Inter, 9 recorded seasons from 2005 to 2013, and the average club spell runs to 3.2 seasons.

International football accounts for a further 7 seasons with Argentina, running alongside the club years rather than after them — which is why the dates in the table overlap.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.

Read against this site’s own league archive: Leicester did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2014 spell; Inter won the title in 2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10 during his 2005–2013 spell; Real Madrid did not finish top of the league in any season of his 2003 spell.

Honours

23 titles are recorded, alongside 14 runner-up or other placed finishes. Both lists come from the same squad records as the career table above, so a competition the player was registered for but did not play in can still appear.

Which club did Esteban Cambiasso spend longest at?

Inter — 9 recorded seasons, from 2005 to 2013. The column counts seasons in which he appears in that club’s squad, not appearances, so half a season on loan still counts once.
