Info:

He rose to prominence at Club Nacional in Asunción. After playing in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, he was signed by Real Oviedo in the Spanish First Division, where he played for three seasons. He also played for Elche CF in the 1961-62 season.

In the 1967-68 season, he signed for C.D. Almería, where he retired and permanently settled.

Spoiler: show
- He was left-footed, a hard-working, fast, and cunning winger who struck the ball with such power that those who saw him play claim his shot was on par with Cristiano Ronaldo's. His legs resembled two Doric columns. He was strength in its utmost essence, race, character, pure unbridled nature.

- That dark-skinned boy, possessed of boundless speed and a devilish shot, took his first steps in football with Club Buenaventura in Coronel Bogado, then played for Nacional in Encarnación, and later joined Nacional in Asunción.

- But that performance was enough for Amarilla and several of his teammates to cross the ocean and settle in Spain. In the 1958/59 season, Florencio signed with the newly promoted Real Oviedo, and in the 1961/62 season he moved to Elche, also in the first division. His speed, his prodigious left foot, and the power of his shot helped him earn a place in the league until an Achilles tendon injury sidelined him for a while. He was left without a team, underwent surgery to speed his recovery (something very rare at the time), and paid for it himself. He never reached the level that had taken him to the Spanish elite.
