Born in Cuenca, Vanegas was a right back for lower sides LDU Cuenca, Atlético Universitario and Gloria. He retired in 2004, and became a manager of Deportivo Cuenca's youth categories.[1]

In 2013, Vanegas was an assistant of Daniel Segarra at Estrella Roja, before being named manager of Círculo Cruz del Vado for the 2015 season. In 2016, he took over Estudiantes de Cuenca, before rejoining Segarra's staff at Gualaceo in 2020.[1]
