Career

Born in Asunción, Caballero had a well-traveled playing career, appearing for clubs in Chile, Mexico and Peru. He played for 15 different clubs before leaving 3 de Febrero in 2006, after a dispute with manager Alicio Solalinde.[1]

In 2003, Primera División de México side Puebla canceled his contract, ending a seven-year stint playing abroad, so Caballero returned to Paraguay to play for Cerro Porteño.[2]

After he retired from playing, Caballero became a football coach. In December 2008, he was appointed to manage 3 de Febrero, his first coaching position with professional club.[3]
