Diego Placente
| Date of birth | 24 April 1977 |
| Place of birth | Buenos Aires |
| Nationality | Argentine |
| Weight | 72 kg |
| Height | 1.76 m |
| Position | Defender |
One of the leading players in Bayer Leverkusen's success in the Champions League, Diego Placente enjoyed championship success in Argentina with River Plate in 1999 and 2000.
He effectively replaced Juan Pablo Sorin at River and is likely to be his understudy in Japan and South Korea.
The left sided defender, who was a World Cup winner at Under-20 level in 1997, may not be the quickest but makes up for that with his strength, determination and superb technique.
Diego previously played for the Argentinos Juniors.
