Ezequiel Matías Schelotto (Spanish pronunciation: [eseˈkjel maˈti.as eskeˈloto], Italian: [skeˈlɔtto]; born 23 May 1989) is an Argentine-Italian footballer who plays for FC Paradiso in the Swiss Promotion League.

He chose to represent Italy at international level, earning a full cap for the national side in 2012 while an Atalanta player.

In 2013, he joined Internazionale and spent the next two years on loan at several Serie A sides before making a move to Sporting CP in Portugal and then to Brighton & Hove Albion in England.

Despite his contract only running out in December 2023, Racing Club allowed Schelotto to leave on a free transfer to Aldosivi in the summer of 2022.

Schelotto began his football adventure in his native country, Argentina, in the minor divisions of Club Banfield.

In June 2009, Schelotto was signed by Serie A side Atalanta on a co-ownership deal for €250,000[7] and, in July 2009, he was instantly loaned back to his previous club, Cesena.

Following his purchase, the player was again loaned back to the Emilia-Romagna-based club, along with veteran midfielder Fabio Caserta and central defender Maximiliano Pellegrino.

In his transfer deal, Catania also received the option to sign the player on a co-ownership basis by the end of the ongoing season.

[11][12] Schelotto made his debut on 3 February in a 3–1 loss against Siena, playing the first 45 minutes before giving way to Mateo Kovačić.

On 20 November 2015, Schelotto joined the Portuguese side Sporting Clube de Portugal on a three-and-a-half-year contract after being released by Internazionale in the summer of that year.

[28] On 2 August 2022, Schelotto joined Aldosivi on a free transfer from Racing Club on a one-and-a-half-year deal that runs until December 2023.

[29] As a dual citizen of Argentina and Italy (the latter due to his ancestry), Schelotto was eligible to play internationally for both countries.

On 10 August 2012, he was called up by Cesare Prandelli to the Italian senior team for a friendly against England, where he made his debut in the 2–1 defeat.
