Career & Clubs

Club career

Nicknamed Tucho, Santa Cruz de la Sierra-born Antelo began playing for amateur club Universidad. In 1983, he jumped to professional football when he signed for Oriente Petrolero at age 18. During his professional career he also played for Blooming, Real Santa Cruz, Bolivar, The Strongest, and San José. Although he spent most of his career in Bolivia, he made a short spell in Japanese football with Fujita Kogyo in 1990. Among his achievements, he has won the title of topscorer in the Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano in 7 different occasions. Between May 17 and September 6, 1998 Antelo scored 18 goals in 12 consecutive matches, braking the record for most consecutive games finding the net, previously set by Juan Carlos Sánchez, who coincidentally comes behind Antelo in the list of all-time topscorers. In addition, he has scored a total of 21 goals in 46 Copa Libertadores matches.

International career

Despite proving his natural talent as a topscorer, Antelo was rarely considered by Bolivia national team managers throughout his career and was overlooked for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. He only earned 11 caps for Bolivia netting 2 goals.

Managerial career

After retiring as a player in 2000, "Tucho" pursued a coaching career. The following year, he took over Oriente Petrolero and had a successful season. As result, the club obtained its third national championship, the first in eleven years. Later, Antelo managed other first division clubs; among them, Blooming, The Strongest, Bolivar, Guabirá, Destroyers, Aurora and most recently Sport Boys Warnes; however, he wasn't able to match the success once achieved with Oriente.
