Jorge Luis Pinto

Pinto managed several teams in Colombia, including Santa Fe and Unión Magdalena on two occasions, before joining Club Alianza Lima (Peru) in 1997. The team was able to win the 1997 Torneo Descentralizado, after an 18-year drought. Afterwards, he left the club and returned to Colombia. After an unsuccessful attempt at coaching Costa Rica in 2004–2005, Pinto returned to Colombia to coach Cúcuta Deportivo, leading them to their first Colombian league title. Pinto was named as the new coach of the Colombia national team in December 2006. His tenure began positively, as Colombia enjoyed a strong start in the World Cup qualifiers, earning 10 out of 16 possible points—including a memorable 2-1 victory over Argentina. However, he faced criticism after poor results in the 2007 Copa América, where Colombia suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Paraguay. After a 1-0 loss to Uruguay at home and a 4-0 away loss to Chile, and with the team sixth in the table, Pinto was sacked by the FCF in September 2008. In November 2008, he returned to Cucuta Deportivo. He left at the end of the 2009 Finalizacion with the team missing out of playoff qualification. In 2010, he became coach of Deportivo Táchira and won the Venezuelan championship with the club in 2011. He exited the club in June 2011, shortly after winning the title. In 2011, he became manager of Costa Rica again, and on 10 September 2013 qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Costa Rica ended in second place in 2014 World Cup…
