Club career
The 1.81-meter-tall defensive midfielder , nicknamed El Mudo , who was also used as a defender , began his career in 1964 with Liverpool Montevideo . Two years later he moved to the Uruguayan top club Nacional Montevideo , to which he returned at the end of his career (1975-1978) after stints abroad at the Argentinian club Independiente (1973), as well as with the Spanish representative FC Granada (1973-1975). The time at Nacional , for which he completed a total of 459 games, was the most successful of his career as a club player.
He and his team were able to win a total of six national championship titles in these years (1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1977). After he failed in the final with his teammates in 1967 and 1969 , he succeeded in winning the Copa Libertadores in the third final in 1971 and then in the final of the World Cup .
