Mauro Daniel Goicoechea Furia (born 27 March 1988) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Uruguayan Primera División team Danubio.
Goicochea was born in Montevideo. In 2006, he signed his first professional contract with Danubio. Thanks to his good performances, he became the goalkeeper holder and his number was changed to 1. He played a total of 79 games with the club.
In August 2012, Goicoechea moved to A.S. Roma on a loan until the end of the season. He made his debut in a 3âÂÂ2 loss against Parma in the second half, coming on as a substitute for the injured Maarten Stekelenburg. Goicoechea followed this up with an impressive display in a 4âÂÂ1 victory over Palermo. He then started the following six games, against Lazio, Torino, Pescara and Siena, but following a string of unimpressive results and ZdenÃÂk Zeman's sacking, which included an own goal in Zeman's last day in charge against Cagliari, where he dropped an easy catch inside the net, Stekelenburg was reinstated as the primary goalkeeper.
In January 2014, Goicoechea signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Romanian club OÃÂelul GalaÃÂi.
In May 2014, Goicoechea moved clubs again, signing a two-year deal with Portuguese side Arouca. He made his debut on 18 August in a 1âÂÂ1 home draw with Estoril.
On 14 July 2015, Goicoechea signed for Ligue 1 side Toulouse.
Goicoechea was part of the Uruguayan team at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, and Uruguay U20 team in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup where they reached the round of 16. In this side he had teammates such as Edinson Cavani, Luis Suárez and MartÃÂn Cáceres among others.
