Cucchi began his career with Rosario Central.[3][4] In June 2014, Cucchi was loaned to Torneo Federal A's Tiro Federal.[1] He scored twice in his opening five appearances, netting in matches with Libertad and Independiente in September.[1] Upon returning to his parent club, Cucchi soon departed on loan once again by signing with Unión Mar del Plata of Primera B Nacional.[1][5] His professional bow came on 26 April against Atlético Paraná, with eight more appearances occurring; though just one was a start.[1] January 2016 saw Cucchi join Libertad on a permanent deal.[1] Six goals in 16 encounters followed.[1]

On 30 June 2016, Cucchi completed a move across Torneo Federal A by agreeing to sign for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza.[1][6] He made his debut on 11 September versus Sportivo Desamparados, which was the first of 64 games in 2 seasons with the club which culminated with promotion to the second tier in 2017–18.[1][7] He netted a brace on the opening day in 2018–19 against Temperley.[1][8] A total of seventeen goals arrived that season in all competitions, with the forward subsequently announcing his intentions to depart at the conclusion of the campaign.[1][9] A move to Colombia to play for Atlético Nacional was agreed on 28 June.[10][11] In 2020, Cucchi was loaned out to Independiente Santa Fe for the rest of the year.[12]
