Mauro Daniel Goicoechea Furia (born 27 March 1988 in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Toulouse.

AS Roma

Goicoechea followed this up with an impressive display in the 4–1 victory over Palermo. He then started the following six games, against Lazio, Torino, Pescara and Siena, but following a string of unimpressive results and Zdeněk Zeman's sacking, which included an awful own goal in Zeman's last day in charge, Stekelenburg was reinstated as the primary goalkeeper.
