Player career

Club career

Gustavo Morínigo was born on January 23, 1977 in Asunción , the capital of Paraguay . He learned the footballing trade in the youth academies of the local club Club Libertad , where he was also accepted into the professional squad in 1996. In a first stage, the midfielder stayed with his employer for four years until 1999, during which time he made thirty league games in the Primera División , Paraguay's highest football league. He got two goals. He spent the 2000 season at the city rivals Club Guaraní , where he completed thirty games in one year and had a yield of three hits.

While Gustavo Morínigo only became a regular player towards the end in his first time at Libertad Asunción, he became an absolute regular after his return to the club for the 2001 season. He was on the ball for the team for another four years until 2004 and during this time he made 103 league appearances in which he scored 31 goals. With Libertad, Gustavo Morínigo won the Paraguayan championship twice in a row in 2002 and 2003, the first of the two triumphs being the first title win since 1976.

After the end of the 2004 season, Gustavo Morínigo turned his back on his club a second time and moved to Argentina to the Argentinos Juniors . There he played a year and made twelve league games before returning to Libertad Asunción and staying there for another year. In 2006, Morínigo managed to win the Paraguay soccer championship for the third time with Libertad. After this success he left the club for good and went to Deportivo Cali in Colombia . There, however, Morínigo was not really happy and came back to his Paraguayan homeland after only six months, where he played the season at Cerro Porteño to the end. From there he joined the Club Nacional also from Asunción for the 2007 season . At Nacional, the now thirty-year-old midfielder played for another five years until 2011, during which time he twice won the championship in his home country. Both the Clausura 2009 and the Apertura 2011 were victorious and won the title at the Estadio Arsenio Erico . In 2011, Gustavo Morínigo ended his footballing career at the age of 34.

National team

Between 2001 and 2005, Gustavo Morínigo brought a total of eighteen international matches for the Paraguayan national soccer team. He got three goals. He was appointed to the South American squad for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea by national coach Cesare Maldini . At the tournament, however, Morinigo acted more as a substitute and so only came to a single use. He lived through this when he came in for Jorge Luis Campos in the 72nd minute of the first group game against South Africa (final score: 2: 2) . No further use followed after that. The Paraguayan team, however, finished the group in second behind Spain and qualified for the round of 16, where three-time world champions Germany waited. It was only in the 88th minute that Oliver Neuville scored the 1-0 for the Germans and catapulted Paraguay out of a very well-run world tournament.

Coaching career

A year after the end of his career as an active football player, Gustavo Marínigo entered the coaching business. As a first stop he took over the office of coach at his old club Nacional Asunción. Marínigo led the club in the 2013 Apertura for the ninth title win in its history. As a result, qualified for the Copa Libertadores 2014 , Gustavo Marínigo's team played their way more and more into the limelight. After the group stage was barely survived, they defeated the top Argentine clubs CA Vélez Sársfield and Arsenal de Sarandí one after the other and were thus in the semi-finals, where the Uruguayan representative Defensor Sporting Club waited as an opponent . After the first leg at home at the Estadio Arsenio Erico was won 2-0, Nacional lost 1-0 in the second leg in Montevideo and still qualified as the second Paraguayan team behind Club Olimpia for the final of the Copa Libertadores . There you met the Argentine club CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . After a 1-1 draw in Asunción , Morinigo's team lost the second leg 0-1, the title of the South American champions 2014 went to San Lorenzo de Almagro. In early 2015, Morínigo resigned from Nacional due to failure in the league.

Gustavo Morínigo has been the coach of the Paraguayan U-20 national soccer team since 2015.
