He then moved to Club Nacional de Football in Uruguay, where he scored more than 100 goals and won the Uruguayan Championship in 1992.

He retired in 2006 after two seasons with Panamanian club Arabe Unido.

International career

Dely Valdés made his debut for Panama in a May 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup match against Honduras and earned a total of 44 caps, scoring 18 goals.[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/panama-recintlp.html Panama – Record International Players] – RSSSF He represented his country in 27 FIFA World Cup qualification matches{{FIFA player|157110}} and was a member of the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup team, that finished second in the tournament,[https://www.rsssf.org/tables/05gc-full.html CONCACAF Championship, Gold Cup 2005 – Full Details] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081024022300/http://www.rsssf.com/tables/05gc-full.html |date=2008-10-24 }} – RSSSF losing the final against USA in a penalty shootout.

Both he and his twin brother announced their international retirement in November 2004,[http://wvw.nacion.com/ln_ee/2004/noviembre/18/udeportes-la8.html Los gemelos Dely Valdés anuncian su retirada] – Nación {{in lang|es}} but they both returned for a final Gold Cup tournament and World Cup qualification matches in 2005. His final international was an October 2005 FIFA World Cup qualification match against the United States, just as his twin brother Jorge.

Managerial career

Dely Valdés became a coach after his playing career ended. He signed with his former team, Málaga, as an assistant manager for head coach Antonio Tapia. He left the club on June 16, 2010, after the arrival of new Qatari owner Abdullah bin Nasser bin Abdullah Al Ahmed Al Thani. The entire team and staff was rebuilt, and Dely Valdés did not have his contract renewed.

On September 14, 2010, Dely Valdés became head coach of the Panama national team[http://www.marca.com/2010/09/22/futbol/futbol_internacional/1285144069.html Dely Valdés firma como nuevo seleccionador de Panamá] – Marca {{in lang|es}} after FEPAFUT chose him over the Colombian Luis Fernando Suarez. The contract was for 10 months which included the Copa Centroamericana and the CONCACAF Gold Cup with an optional extension to include the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He appointed twin brother Jorge as his assistant.{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/mar/27/the-knowledge-football-manager-twins|title=Football manager twins and sons versus dads in the dug-out|last=Turner|first=Georgina|date=2013-03-27|newspaper=The Guardian|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|access-date=2016-10-21}} They led Panama to the final round of World Cup qualifying but ultimately fell short, after which the Dely Valdés brothers were not retained as managers.
