Gustavo Domingo Quinteros Desábato (born 15 February 1965) is a football manager and former professional player who played mainly as a centre-back.{{cite web |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/ecuador-names-gustavo-quinteros-coach-162627727--sow.html |title = Ecuador names Gustavo Quinteros as new coach}}
Born in Argentina, Quinteros played for the Bolivia national team, representing the nation in the 1994 FIFA World Cup. After retiring, he became a manager, taking over clubs in his native Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador (as well as both national teams), Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Chile and Mexico.
Early life
Quinteros was born in Cafferata, a small town in the Santa Fe Province. A midfielder, he joined the youth sides of Newell's Old Boys at the age of 13, but only spent a year at the club before leaving. He returned to the side at the age of 17, while studying biochemistry and pharmacy at the National University of Rosario.{{cite web|url=http://www.lun.com:9999/lunmobile//pages/NewsDetailMobile.aspx?IsNPHR=1&dt=2021-06-14&NewsID=0&BodyId=0&PaginaID=21&Name=21&PagNum=2&SupplementId=0&Anchor=20210614_21_0_0|title=La distancia de la familia golpea al DT del Cacique|trans-title=The distance from his family hits the manager of the Cacique hard|publisher=Las Últimas Noticias|language=es|date=14 June 2021|accessdate=26 November 2024}}
Club career
Quinteros was unable to make a breakthrough at Newell's,{{cite web|url=https://www.elciudadanoweb.com/quinteros-sobre-newells-ahi-empece-es-mi-casa/|title=Quinteros sobre Newell’s: "Ahí empecé, es mi casa"|trans-title=Quinteros about Newell's: "I have started there, it is my home"|publisher=El Ciudadano|language=es|date=21 February 2018|accessdate=26 November 2024}} only featuring as an unused substitute in a reserve team match in July 1985. Six months later, he joined Central Córdoba de Rosario, where he would make his senior debut.{{cite web|url=https://www.lacapital.com.ar/ovacion/dos-dt-que-saben-copas-n1561693.html|title=Dos DT que saben de copas|trans-title=Two managers who know about cups|publisher=La Capital|language=es|date=23 February 2018|accessdate=26 November 2024}}
In 1987, Quinteros signed for Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, being a part of the squad which won the 1987–88 Primera B Metropolitana.{{cite web|url=https://www.frecuenciaalbirroja.com/index.php/futbol/campeonato/1669-bodas-de-plata-25-anos-del-ascenso-al-nacional-b|title=Bodas de Plata: 25 años del Ascenso al Nacional B|trans-title=Silver Wedding: 25 years since promotion to the Nacional B|publisher=Frecuencia Albirroja|language=es|date=3 April 2013|accessdate=26 November 2024}} In the following year, after a failed move to a Primera B Nacional side, he moved to Bolivia and joined Universitario de Sucre.{{cite web|url=https://www.tycsports.com/bolivia/futbol-de-bolivia/gustavo-quinteros-corazon-dividido-lider-argentina-jugo-mundial-bolivia-id613154.html|title=Gustavo Quinteros, el DT del líder del fútbol argentino que jugó un Mundial con Bolivia: la historia de un corazón dividido|trans-title=Gustavo Quinteros, the manager of the leader of Argentine football who played a World Cup with Bolivia: the story of a split heart|publisher=TyC Sports|language=es|date=15 October 2024|accessdate=26 November 2024}}
After scoring eight goals for Universitario de Sucre, Quinteros moved to The Strongest for the 1989 season. At the latter club, he was converted into a centre-back, and established himself as a starter in that position. He later spent a one-season spell at San José, before returning to Strongest in 1994.
After the 1994 World Cup, Quinteros returned to his birth nation, signing a contract with San Lorenzo after the club paid a US$ 170,000 fee. He would never establish himself as a starter at the club, only making his Argentine Primera División debut on 6 May 1995, in a 2–1 away win over Deportivo Mandiyú.{{cite web|url=https://442.perfil.com/noticias/seleccion/2011-11-11-97530-quinteros-busca-repetir-la-hazana.phtml|title=Quinteros, una historia de lucha|trans-title=Quinteros, a story of fight|publisher=442|language=es|date=11 November 2011|accessdate=26 November 2024}}
Quinteros signed for Argentinos Juniors in 1997, before moving back to Bolivia in 1999 with Jorge Wilstermann. He retired with the latter club at the end of the season, aged 34.
International career
Quinteros initially obtained Bolivian nationality to "free up foreign quota", but was later called up to the Bolivia national team in 1993. He made his full international debut on 29 January of that year, starting and scoring the opener in a 3–1 friendly win over Honduras at the Estadio Félix Capriles in Cochabamba.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/intldetails/1993ic1.html|title=International Matches 1993 - Intercontinental, January-April|publisher=RSSSF|accessdate=26 November 2024}}
Quinteros also played in the 1993, 1995 and 1999 editions of the Copa América, aside from the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. He represented the nation on 26 occasions.[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/bol-recintlp.html Appearances for Bolivia National Team] - RSSSF
