Leonel Eduardo Pilipauskas Rodríguez (born 18 May 1975) is a Uruguayan retired professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and is the assistant manager of Bella Vista.
Club career
[edit]Pilipauskas was born in Montevideo. In his country, he played for C.A. Bella Vista, Peñarol and Centro Atlético Fénix. This was punctuated by a spell with Spanish club Atlético Madrid in the 1999–2000 season, which was anything but successful (only four La Liga matches, relegation to Segunda División).[1]
In 2005, Pilipauskas moved to neighbouring Argentina, going on to represent Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba[2] and Club Atlético Platense, the former in the Primera División. He briefly returned to Fénix in between.
International career
[edit]Pilipauskas made four appearances for Uruguay during 1999, including two matches at that year's Copa América.[3] His debut came on 17 June in a friendly with Paraguay, in Ciudad del Este.
Coaching career
[edit]In January 2020, Pilipauskas returned to Bella Vista as an assistant manager under Jorge Casanova.[4]
