Mauro Esteban Navas Dellepiani (born 20 October 1974) is an Argentine former footballer who played as a right back, and current youth coach at Boca Juniors.
His professional career was spent, other than in his country, where he played in various clubs and divisions, in Italy and Spain. In the latter nation, he played four years with Espanyol in La Liga.
Club career
Navas was born in Buenos Aires. After appearing prominently in his country for Club Atlético Banfield and Racing Club de Avellaneda, he signed with Italian club Udinese Calcio.
During the next four seasons he played in Spain with RCD Espanyol, starting in his first year – which ended with the conquest of the Copa del Rey – and appearing regularly for the Barcelona-based side in the following campaigns. After a sole season in the same country with lowly CD Leganés, he returned to his homeland in 2004, continuing to play mainly in the lower leagues (he had a brief spell in the Primera División, with modest Club Almagro).
Coaching career
In November 2008, Navas was appointed assistant coach of Ricardo Zielinski at Chacarita Juniors.[https://www.soloascenso.com.ar/notas/chacarita/ricardo-zielinski-es-el-nuevo-dt-de-chaca/15795 Ricardo Zielinski es el nuevo DT de Chaca], soloascenso.com.ar, 9 November 2008 He left the position in July 2009.[https://www.ambito.com/edicion-impresa/chacarita-n3570502 Chacarita - Ámbito], ambito.com, 13 July 2009
