In 1960 he also played in Montevideo for Peñarol and in 1962 for the Rampla Juniors in the Primera División . While he was part of the Aurinegros , they won the national championship in 1960 and the Copa Libertadores .

Coaching

Cubilla coached the Montevidean club Danubio FC in 1978 , with whom he took part in the Copa Libertadores for the first time in club history . According to El Mercurio , he also held the coaching position at the Paraguayan club Club Olimpia - initially as an assistant to his brother, whom he later replaced - and won national and international titles with the club. Later he was a member of the Uruguayan national team coaching staff in the early 1990s. His brother Luis Cubilla was the national coach at the time . However, he also held the office of national coach for four games. As such, he made his debut on May 5, 1991 in the international match against the US selection and from then on coached the team in the games against Mexico, Costa Rica and most recently on May 30, 1991 against Chile. Two wins under his leadership stand against two defeats. At the beginning of July 1998 he took over the coaching position at Cartaginés in Costa Rica . After eight match days, the collaboration between Cubilla and the Costa Ricans was ended again on October 5, 1998 and the work there was continued by his assistants Miguel Calvo and Marco Tulio Hidalgo .
