Fuentes was trained at Coquimbo Unido, becoming a historical player for them and later Cobreloa.

International career

Fuentes made 24 appearances for Chile from 1998 to 2005. In addition, he played for Chile B against England B on 10 February 1998. Chile won by 2-1. As a curiosity, he popularized a striking play what was called Culebra (Snake) due to the fact he threw himself to the ground to block Ronaldo in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Brazil on 6 June 2004.

While he was a player of Coquimbo Unido, he studied at the INAF (National Football Institute) and graduated as a football manager in 2014. He has coached the youth teams of both Coquimbo Unido and Cobreloa. In April 2021, he also was confirmed as the coach of Cobreloa women's team. In November 2023, he left Cobreloa. Following Cobreloa, Fuentes settled in the Coquimbo Region and has served as coach for Academia Caleta Hornos.
