Club career

In September 2018, after featuring sparingly, Cincotta left fourth-tier side SV Elversberg to return to his country of birth Guatemala, joining C.D. Guastatoya. [4] Ahead of the following 2019–20 season, Cincotta joined Comunicaciones on a one-year contract. [5] In January 2020, Cincotta moved to Cobán Imperial. [6] However, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement on 13 March 2020 because his parents, who was living in Germany, were concerned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [7] A few weeks later, Cincotta revealed that he wanted to return to Europa because he had suffered from a lot of injuries since his return to Guatemala. This was also one of the reasons why he terminated his contract with Cobán Imperial. [8]

Cincotta announced his retirement from playing in January 2021. [9]

International career

Cincotta's parents met in Germany. His father is Italian, while his mother (Alma Giordano) is a Guatemalan with a partial Italian descent. They went to Guatemala, where Cincotta was born. They returned to Germany shortly after, where he grew up. [10] As a result, Cincotta was eligible to play for the national teams of Guatemala, Italy and Germany. After representing Germany at youth level, Cincotta expressed his desire to play for Guatemala at senior level. [11]
