Iván Gonzalo Bella (born 13 September 1989) is an Argentine football winger who plays for Gimnasia Jujuy.

Club career[edit]

Bella made his league debut for Vélez Sársfield on a 0–0 draw against Independiente on 8 June 2008, during the penultimate fixture of that year's Clausura tournament.[1] In 2009, the Argentine winger won with Vélez the 2009 Clausura, although only playing one game (a 1–1 draw against River Plate on the sixth fixture).[2]

Bella played 13 games in Vélez' 2010 Apertura runner-up campaign,[3] mainly replacing Augusto Fernández on the right wing when the former was injured. However, coach Ricardo Gareca also used him as a left back to replace injured Emiliano Papa on the last fixtures of the tournament. Bella improved his goal-scoring ability in the first semester of 2012, scoring five times in 18 games between the 2012 Clausura and Copa Libertadores.

Upon Augusto Fernández's departure from Vélez, Bella became a regular starter for Vélez and played 15 games (scoring once) in the team's 2012 Inicial title-winning campaign.[4] In 2013, the winger suffered an epilepsy seizure on the field,[5] but quickly recovered and started for Vélez in the 2012–13 Superfinal victory against Newell's Old Boys.

In July 2013, Bella moved to Mexican club Chiapas F.C., that purchased 50% of his transfer rights from Vélez for a fee of approximately US$2 million.[6] After a six-month period, he joined Puebla F.C. on loan.

In July 2014, Bella returned to Argentina for Lanús, signed a one-and-a-half year deal.[7] However, the midfielder left the club after only six months, joining Godoy Cruz for the 2015 Argentine Primera División.

After another 6-month period with Godoy Cruz, the winger returned to his first team, Vélez Sarsfield, signing a two-year contract.[8][9] In Vélez' first team he joined his brother Rodrigo.

International career[edit]

In January 2009, Bella played the South American Youth Championship with the Argentine under-20 national team. In 2012, Bella was called by coach Alejandro Sabella for a senior national team formed solely by local league players, although he did not play any games.
