José Manuel Sulantay Silva (3 April 1940 – 20 July 2023) was a Chilean football player and manager. He notably managed the Chile U20 and Chile U17 national team, leading the Chile U20 to a third-place finish at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada. At a FIFA level, Sulantay is Chile's second most successful coach after Fernando Riera.

Playing career

Sulantay was born in Coquimbo, Chile. As a youth player, he was with Atlético El Llano from his hometown.{{cite web |last1=Rivera Valencia |first1=Carlos |title=El legado del técnico José Sulantay Silva |url=https://www.diarioeldia.cl/deportes/2023/7/23/el-legado-del-tecnico-jose-sulantay-silva-102829.html |website=www.diarioeldia.cl |publisher=Diario El Día |access-date=31 July 2023 |language=es |date=23 July 2023}} At professional level, he officially debuted with Deportes La Serena in 1957. There, he highlighted as right back or right wing. This allowed him being called to Chilean national U-20 team that participated in the 1958 South American Championship held in his country.{{cite web |last1=Rivera Valencia |first1=Carlos |title=Un delantero de gran velocidad y técnica |url=https://www.diarioeldia.cl/deportes/2023/7/23/un-delantero-de-gran-velocidad-tecnica-102830.html |website=www.diarioeldia.cl |publisher=Diario El Día |access-date=31 July 2023 |language=es |date=23 July 2023}}

After losing with Serena the 1959 Copa Chile final against Santiago Wanderers, in 1960 he achieved with the team that season's Copa Chile edition. Equally, in 1959 he was the cup's top scorer with six goals alongside Juan Soto ―from Colo-Colo― and Héctor Torres from Magallanes.

In 1992, he achieved a Primera División de Chile title with the club.{{cite web|title=Cobreloa Campeón 1992|url=https://cobreloa.cl/palmar%C3%A9s/f/cobreloa-campe%C3%B3n-1992|publisher=Cobreloa Official Web Site|date=7 January 2021|accessdate=22 June 2021|language=Spanish|archive-date=24 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624204841/https://cobreloa.cl/palmar%C3%A9s/f/cobreloa-campe%C3%B3n-1992|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://chile.as.com/chile/2020/07/03/futbol/1593728798_744837.html|title=El Liverpool de Klopp sufrió el síndrome Cobreloa '92|publisher=AS Chile|date=7 March 2020|accessdate=22 June 2021|language=Spanish}}

During 2007 FIFA Youth World Cup, on 20 June, his team was involved in a clash with the Canadian police after the players tried to cross security barriers to meet with fans,{{cite web|title=Chilean Clash With Police Sparks Controversy At FIFA U-20 Tourney|url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2007/07/20/chilean-clash-with-police-sparks-controversy-at-fifa-u-20-tourney/|publisher=CityNews|date=20 July 2007|accessdate=14 June 2021}} conflict that even extended to Harold Mayne-Nicholls{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=225}} —president of the ANFP— who was beaten by Toronto's police.{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=225}} These events even transcended beyond football by provoking complaints from the President Michelle Bachelet, the Chilean consul in Toronto and Human Rights Watch director José Miguel Vivanco.{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=225}} Days later also FIFA president Joseph Blatter condemned the violence from Canadian police.{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=224}}

After Chile U20's performance in 2007 FIFA Youth World Cup, he was the candidate to replace Nelson Acosta in the adult national team.{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=236}}{{cite web|url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKL272489720070727|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120721121544/http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKL272489720070727|url-status=dead|archive-date=21 July 2012|title=Sulantay ponders offer to take charge of Chile|date=27 July 2007|publisher=Reuters|access-date=5 April 2010}} Nevertheless, on 30 July, he officially declined.{{cite web|title=Se baja sin vueltas|url=https://www.espn.cl/noticias/nota?s=mundial&id=582806&type=story|publisher=ESPN|date=30 July 2007|accessdate=13 June 2021|language=Spanish}} Likewise, according to journalist Francisco Sagredo, this option didn't prosper because Sulantay would have broken the confidentiality pact by telling this possibility to media.{{Sfn|Sagredo|2011|p=236}}

=Municipal Iquique=

On 5 January 2008, he joined Primera B side Municipal Iquique.{{cite web|url=https://www.estrellaiquique.cl/prontus4_nots/site/artic/20080105/pags/20080105004023.html|title=José Sulantay llega con cuerpo técnico completo|publisher=La Estrella de Iquique|date=5 January 2008|accessdate=14 June 2021|archive-date=14 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210614155624/https://www.estrellaiquique.cl/prontus4_nots/site/artic/20080105/pags/20080105004023.html|url-status=dead}}
