Club career
editRiver Plate Montevideo
editGianoli was born in Montevideo. His father, Gabriel Gianoli, is a member of the General Assembly of Uruguay for the National Party. After playing for youth teams, Gianoli was signed by River Plate (Montevideo). A growth spurt to over 1.95 metres at age 15 led to him briefly being tried out as a forward before being returning to defence. In his final season, 2019–20, he trained with the main squad but played in the third team; he did not play a first-team match in his four years at the club. Manager Jorge Fossati then released him.[2]
Montijo
editGianoli travelled to Spain and signed for UD Montijo in the town of the same name with 15,000 inhabitants in Extremadura. Playing in the fourth-tier Tercera División, he played 25 games in 2020–21 and scored two headers as the team went on to win promotion via the play-offs. His latter goal on 2 March 2021 won the game at home to Moralo CP on the last day of the campaign, thus winning the group and making post-season.[1][2] He signed a two-year contract in July,[1] and left in January 2022.[3]
Cerro Largo
editGianoli signed for Cerro Largo F.C. in the Uruguayan Primera División ahead of the 2022 season.[4] He played 25 games that campaign and scored once, in a 2–1 home loss to Liverpool F.C. (Montevideo) on 28 May.[2] He was sent off on 29 April 2023 in a goalless game at Cerro, after a video assistant referee decision against his tackle.[5] On 26 August, he scored the opening goal of a 2–2 draw with Nacional also at the Estadio Arquitecto Antonio Eleuterio Ubilla.[6]
Peñarol
editOn 30 January 2024, Gianoli transferred to Peñarol in the same league on a two-year contract. The club paid US$100,000 for 30% of his economic rights.[7] He made his debut on 24 February in the second game of the season, playing the last 15 minutes as a substitute in a 2–0 home win over Miramar Misiones.[8]
