Career

Born in Concepción, Durán represented Naval de Talcahuano, Everton de Viña del Mar, Santiago Morning and San Luis de Quillota as a player. He retired with the latter in 1997, aged 27.

After retiring, Durán worked as a coach in the football school of San Joaquín, before joining the youth sides of Magallanes in 2011, as a manager of the under-16 squad. In the following year, he led Naval's under-17 and under-19 teams, before being named manager of Fernández Vial on 20 December 2012.[1]

Durán won the 2013 Tercera A with Fernández Vial, before returning to Naval in February 2014, now as first team manager.[2] He left the club after suffering administrative relegation, and was named at the helm of Deportes Puerto Montt in August.

Durán led Puerto Montt to the Primera B after winning the Segunda División Profesional de Chile in 2015, but left the club in May 2017 after not renewing his contract. He was named Deportes Copiapó manager shortly after,[3] but was dismissed from the latter in September 2018.[4]

In October 2018, Durán took over Deportes Limache, but left after missing out promotion. He returned to Fernández Vial on 29 December of that year,[5] but was replaced by Jorge Garcés in August 2019.

On 10 December 2019, Durán was announced as manager of Unión San Felipe for the upcoming season.[6] Sacked on 20 November 2020,[7] he returned to Copiapó the following 5 February.[8]

Durán led Copiapó to the finals of the 2021 Primera B, but resigned on 4 January 2022 amidst the uncertainty of a promotion.[9] Two days later, he returned to Puerto Montt,[10] being dismissed on 15 July 2023.[11]

On 16 January 2024, Durán was named Deportes La Serena manager.[12] He led the club to a top tier promotion as champions.
