Career

Professional

Flamenco began his career playing for Quequeisque's youth system, being considered a promising young defender. He played in Primera and Segunda division for Quequeisque. Flamenco was soon signed to a long term professional contract by Adler in 1964.

Flamenco was eventually able to move to FAS in 1971 and he stayed there until 1973 when he moved to Platense under the tutelage of Jorge Tupinambá. He stayed there until Tupinambá was released, then followed Tupinambá to Firpo and Dragon. He retired from football in 1976.[1]

Flamenco represented his country at the 1968 Summer Olympics[2] and at the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.
