About David Oteo
Born 1973. David Oteo is a Mexican association football player.
David Alejandro Oteo Rojas (born 27 July 1973) is a Mexican former professional footballer who last played for Rio Grande Valley Grandes in the USL Premier Development League in the United States.
A central defender capable of filling in at left fullback, Oteo began his career with UNAM in the 1992–93 season. He became a starter that season and remained a regular in the Pumas lineup until leaving for Tigres in 1999. By 2001 he had formed a solid partnership with former UNAM teammate Claudio Suárez in a defense that carried Tigres to the Invierno 2001 final, where they lost to Pachuca. In 2003 Tigres again reached the final before losing to Pachuca, with Oteo now receiving much of his playing time at left back after the emergence of Hugo Sánchez Guerrero to join Suárez in the center. He was named to the squad for the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup by coach Enrique Meza, playing in Mexico's 2–0 loss to Australia. After a spell out of the team under Javier Aguirre, Oteo returned after the appointment of Ricardo Antonio Lavolpe and appeared in Mexico's 8-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Dominica in 2004, scoring his first and only international goal. Oteo's twelfth and last cap came at the 2004 Copa America, in a 2–2 draw against Uruguay on July 7, 2004.
Oteo was a member of Mexico's squad at the 1996 Summer Olympics, but did not appear in any of the team's four matches at the competition.
