David Rolando Santelices Rodríguez (born 23 March 1971), known as Rolando Santelices, is a Chilean football manager and former player who played as a forward. Santelices also played in Ecuador.

Playing career

As a youth player, Santelices was with club Estudiante Independiente before joining the Everton de Viña del Mar youth system.[1] After becoming a free agent, he began his professional career with Ñublense in the Chilean second level in 1991.[2]

The next season, he returned to Everton,[3] also playing for them in 1994[4] and 1995 in the Chilean top division.[5][6]

In 1995 he moved to Ecuador and joined Liga de Quito recommended by Luis Santibáñez, who had coached him in Everton.[2] In that club, he coincided with his compatriot Adolfo Ovalle and made fourteen appearances with eight goals.[7]

In his homeland, he also played for Palestino[8] and Deportes Melipilla.[9][2]

His last club was Santiago Wanderers, the classic rival of Everton, in 1999,[10][11] getting the promotion to the top division.[12]

Coaching career

As a football manager, he led Provincial Marga Marga in the Chilean Tercera B.[13][14][15]

The next season, he worked for the Everton youth system and served as one of the four assistants of the interim coach, Carlos Medina.[16]

He also owns a football academy based in Valparaíso Sporting Club.[2]

Personal life

His younger brother, Álex,[17] also was a footballer who played for Everton and Santiago Wanderers.[12][1][18]

Outside of football, he and his wife devote time in horseracing, a family passion from his grandfather of the same name, David.[19]
