Club career

Born in Capitán Bermúdez, Santa Fe Province, Pillud began his playing career in 2005 in the Argentine second division with Tiro Federal. In 2008, he made his Primera División debut after being loaned to Newell's Old Boys.

In July 2009, Pillud joined Spanish club RCD Espanyol, also on loan.[1] He scarcely appeared during his first and only season, his debut coming on 30 August in a 0–1 La Liga away loss against Athletic Bilbao.[2]

Pillud returned to his homeland for the 2010–11 campaign, signing for Racing Club de Avellaneda.[3] On 31 January 2014 he moved teams and countries again, being loaned to Hellas Verona F.C. in Italy with an option for a permanent switch.[4] He played his first game in Serie A on 23 March, coming on as 68th-minute substitute in a 0–5 loss at U.C. Sampdoria.[5]

International career

Pillud earned his first cap for Argentina on 16 March 2011, playing the first half of a 4–1 friendly win with Venezuela.[6]

gollark: Oh yes, that.
gollark: I only interact with it through reading about it on the internet occasionally, or reading things from people who live there.
gollark: Great!
gollark: Still, given the existence of perfectly good (well, better-problem-having) non-America countries, meh.
gollark: Anyway, my vague dislike of America isn't particularly strongly held because it's based on a small amount of fairly abstract problems mostly.
