Percy Rojas

At the professional level he played for Universitario de Deportes, Independiente (Argentina), Sporting Cristal and Sérésien (Belgium). He won the Peruvian Primera División with Universitario five times (1967, 1969, 1971, 1974 and 1982) and two more with Sporting Cristal (1979, 1980). In 1975 he was transferred to Independiente, a club with which he finally won the 1975 Copa Libertadores scoring a goal in the final and with which he won the Copa Interamericana the following year.

Rojas made 49 appearances with the Peru national football team from 1969 to 1979. He was part of the Peruvian soccer team that won the 1975 Copa América and reached the second round of the 1978 FIFA World Cup.

Once his playing career ended, he embarked on a coaching career. But this was very brief. He notably took the reins of Universitario de Deportes in 1986 (on an interim basis) and 1987. Assistant to José Macía with the Peruvian national team, he served as interim coach for the Uruguay–Peru match on September 24, 1989, a qualifier for the 1990 World Cup (a 2-0 defeat). He was become a television commentator.
