Diego Pérez (born May 18, 1980 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan soccer defensive midfielder who currently plays for AS Monaco in Ligue 1 after signing in 2004 from Peñarol. At the age of 19, Perez joined one of the clubs of his hometown, Défensor Sporting, soon becoming a first-team regular. He joined a larger club from Montevideo, CA Peñarol, in 2003 but only played 13 games with them before being shipped off to play for Didier Deschamps' AS Monaco. During his time at Monaco he has had to battle for his place in the defensive midfield spot against Lucas Bernardi, Akis Zikos and Gerard López; and was especially favored by the manager Francesco Guidolin during the Italian's reign in the 2005-6 season.
