Rómulo Cortez

Coaching career Plying his trade abroad in Germany and North America (for the Washington Darts), Cortez began to develop an interest in coaching, doing courses in Mexico and Brazil the combined scoreline in their campaign was 59 goals conceded.

Hired by the Real Cochabamba Football Academy board to become their technical director and manage their under-15 and under-17 squads, Cortez also was instructed to use his experience to teach their coaches in 2011.

Expatiating and dilating on the state of Bolivian football, Cortez explained that it requires fundamental knowledge of the game, both technically and tactically but lacks professionals and that 95 percent of coaches are former players.

Back in 2014, the former coach proposed a project for the restructuring of Bolivian football, which included ideas for a unified amateur second division and a creation of a coaching school; he also specified that the Bolivian Football Federation should be the only body responsible for managing the national football team.
