Lucchetti started his professional career in 1995 playing for his hometown team Luján de Cuyo, who at the time played in Argentine regional tournaments. In 1996, he moved to Banfield and made his debut in the Primera División the same year. After two years in Banfield, he was transferred to Santos Laguna in Mexico where he played in the Mexican Primera División and in the 2004 Copa Libertadores.

In 2004, he returned to Argentina to play for Racing Club. In 2005, Lucchetti returned to his former club Banfield, where he became one of the club's goalscorers by taking penalties. In 2009, he was the first team goalkeeper of the first Banfield team ever to win an Argentine championship, keeping goal in every game of the Apertura 2009 championship.[1]

On 11 June 2010, the 31-year-old goalkeeper left Banfield and joined on loan with a selling option to Boca Juniors.[2]

In July 2011, he returns to Banfield for playing the 2011–2012 season, finishing last over 20 teams and being relegated to 2nd Division after 11 seasons and winning the Apertura 2009.
