Career

Born in Magangué, Bolívar Department, García played for Categoría Primera C teams before moving to coaching.[2] He moved to Cartagena, where he managed the youth sides of Expreso Rojo and Real Cartagena.[1]

In May 2018, after working as an assistant manager of the main squad, García was named interim manager in the place of Marco Indaburo.[3] He later returned to his previous role after the appointment of Richard Parra,[4] before being named sporting director of the youth setup on 16 September 2019.[5]

On 27 September 2019, García was appointed manager of Real Cartagena until the end of the year, replacing José Santa.[6] After missing out promotion, he resigned on 9 January 2020.[7]

On 18 March 2021, García reunited with Parra after becoming his assistant at Peruvian side Unión Comercio.[8] He followed Parra to Iztapa in Guatemala in July 2022,[9] before being named manager of the club on 22 August.[10]

García left Iztapa on a mutual agreement on 20 February 2023,[11] and later worked at Quiché before taking over Achuapa on 18 December.[12]

Dismissed by Achuapa after just eight matches, García returned to Unión Comercio on 29 March 2024, now being appointed manager.[13] He was sacked on 18 May, however.[14]
