Career

Born in San Martín, Mendoza, Valdvieso defended Atlético Madrid colours in four seasons, amassing 25 league caps, scoring twice.[1] He was part of the squad that finished third in the 1946-47 La Liga, after being joint-first all throughout the season. On the last day Athletic Bilbao draws three equal, Atletico loses 2-3 against Real Madrid, wasting a two-nill advantage, and Valencia wins six-nill against Sporting de Gijón, being proclaimed Champion.[2] He did win some silverware at the Colchoneros, helping the club conquer the Copa Presidente de la Federación Española, against Valência on 14 September 1947.[2]

After retiring in 1953, he moved to Portugal and joined Benfica as a youth coach, having two spells on the first team. He assumed the role for the first time on 4 January 1954, after Ribeiro dos Reis left the position,[3] finishing the season in third place, behind both rivals.[4] His second spell was on 19 June 1959, Valdevieso replaced Otto Glória for just one game, in a one-nill win against FC Porto on the 1959 Taça de Portugal Final.[5][6]

He later moved to Australia, managing Canterbury in the suburbs of Sydney.[7] In 1964 he led Deportivo Galicia in the Venezuelan Primera División to their first league title in 1964.[7]
