Football career

Born in Buenos Aires, Pacheco started playing with Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield, but moved with his parents to Spain still in his teens, where he finished his formation with Atlético Madrid. In the 2009–10 season he had his first taste of professional football, being loaned to neighbouring Rayo Vallecano in the second division; however, the loan was short-lived, as he returned in January 2010 to the Colchoneros, spending the following months with its reserves in the third level.

On 8 June 2010 Pacheco returned to his native country, as Atlético loaned him for one year to Club Atlético Independiente. He made his top division debut against his first youth club Vélez, on the first fixture of the 2010 Apertura; in addition, even though he did not play any game in the tournament, he was part of the 2010 Copa Sudamericana-winning team.
