Career

Born in Remedios de Escalada, Buenos Aires Province, Perinetti joined Racing Club in 1906, having previously played for Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, a club where he was a founding member and later became president.[1][2]

Perinetti was a key figure during Racing's golden era in the amateur leagues, contributing significantly to the club's unprecedented run of seven consecutive league titles between 1913 and 1919.[2] Perinetti was a prolific goal-scorer, netting 99 goals for Racing, making him one of the club’s top scorers in its history.[2]

In 1925, Perinetti returned to Talleres as captain and was a key figure in the team that won the Intermedia championship.[1]

He played in 17 matches for the Argentina national football team from 1915 and 1919.[1] He was also part of Argentina's squad for the 1916, 1917, and 1919 South American Championships.[3]
