FORMER URUGUAY captain Diego Lugano was caught on camera apprehending a thief that stole his phone as he celebrated his old club\u2019s Brazilian Cup victory.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old, who also had a brief stint in the Premier League with West Brom, was in attendance to witness Sao Paulo clinch their first trophy for a decade after they beat rivals Flamengo on Sunday.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He joined in with the thousands of supporters partying afterwards but the party mood soon turned sour.<\/p>\n

During the crazy scenes, a robber snatched the iconic centre-half\u2019s phone from his pocket.<\/p>\n

The crime was caught on camera, however, so was Lugano\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n

The ex-Fenerbahce, Paris Saint-Germain and Malaga ace fortunately realised that he had been pick-pocjeted and managed to stop the culprit, with help from supporters, from escaping.<\/p>\n

And police have now confirmed that the thief has been taken into custody with the Sao Paulo Public Security Office announcing that they had arrested a 32-year-old.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time that Lugano has hit the headlines supporting his old team.<\/p>\n

Fans were left stunned as he looked unrecognisable while celebrating Sao Paulo's derby victory over Corinthians last month as he joined fans that were setting off flares while wearing a red Sao Paulo beanie and black sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Lugano enjoys legendary status at the South American club having played for them between 2003 and 2006.<\/p>\n

During that period he helped them to win the Campeanato Paulista, the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Supporters will know him from his time captaining Uruguay – where he led his side to a surprise fourth place finish at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.<\/p>\n

He returned to Sao Paulo as a player in 2016 before moving into the club's boardroom.<\/p>\n

Then, from 2018 to 2020, he was the sporting director at the club but is evidently now just enjoying his time as a Sao Paulo fan.<\/p>\n

Prem fans might also recognise Lugano from his underwhelming one year spell at West Brom.<\/p>\n

He signed for The Baggies from PSG in 2013 on a two year contract but was released the following year after making only seven league appearances.<\/p>\n

The cancellation of Lugano's contract led to a legal dispute between him and the club which was settled after three-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n
