[edit] Career

From 2004 to 2007 Núñez played for Argentinos Juniors in the Argentine Primera División. He finished the 2006 Apertura tournament with 8 goals, and was in the top ten goalscorers. During the Clausura tournament 2007 he scored one of the goals of the season from his own half against Belgrano de Córdoba. His goals helped Argentinos Juniors move away from the bottom four in the Primera División relegation table for the first time in nearly three years.

In June 2007, Núñez signed for Greek club Olympiacos, for a fee reported to be €3 million. He agreed personal terms for a four year contract worth €500,000 a season.^[1]

Núñez scored his first goal for Olympiacos in a pre-season frendly against Turkish club Ankaragücü. On 16 January 2008, Núñez scored his first official goal for Olympiacos CFP. It was a brilliant scissor kick to make it 4-0 in the Greek cup derby match against Panathinaikos. Núñez recorded his first league goal, essentially a decider, shortly afterwards in the game against OFI Crete.
