The 25-year-old Honduran played for Reggina in Italy’s Serie B for three and a half years, but now he will play in his second country in Europe.
The Honduran soccer player Rigoberto Rivas made the decision to end his time in Italian soccer and will now be part of the Turkish Super League.
TEN learned that the catracho winger became a new player for Hatayspor in the first division of Turkish football.
Rivas, 25, joins his new team after signing a three-year contract after previously announcing his departure from Reggina, a team where he spent four seasons and was relegated from Serie B to Serie C for financial problems.
Hatayspor, the Honduran’s new team, is sixth in the standings with six points after four games played with one win and three draws. His coach is former soccer player Volkan Demirel.
It should be noted that Rigoberto had several offers and was even linked to Sampdoria at the time, where he could have been led by former world champion Andrea Pirlo.
In this way, Rigo ends a seven-year stage in Italian football after he was part of the AC Prato, Inter Milan, Brescia, Ternana and finally Reggina clubs.
In four championships with Reggio Calabria, Rigoberto Rivas scored 10 goals and the best campaign was that of 2020-2021, where he endorsed five goals.
Hatayspor is the new club of Honduran Rigoberto Rivas. The catracho will play in his sixth team in Europe.
In his last tournament with Reggina, the Honduran was led by none other than “Pippo” Inzaghi, world champion with Italy in 2006.
The 25-year-old footballer was not called up by Honduras for the FIFA double date this September, because the player was arranging his contractual situation with the Italian team.
