Career

Amarilla made his debut for his home club Sportivo Luqueño at the age of 17 . Soon, in 1980 at the age of 20, he moved to Spain for Real Zaragoza .

Between 1982 and 1983 he also played two games for Spain's U-21s , which made it impossible for him to play for the Paraguayan national team. In 1985 he moved to FC Barcelona . Only in the first season he was still part of Barça's starting eleven. In the other two seasons he was only a supplementary player. In 1988 he went back home to Club Olimpia . The second half of 1989 he played on loan at Club América . In 1990 he won the Copa Libertadores , the Supercopa Sudamericana and the Recopa Sudamericana with Club Olimpia . He was also named South America's Footballer of the Year that year . The striker spent the last season of his professional career, 1993/94, in Japan with the Yokohama Wings .

He later coached smaller Paraguayan clubs such as Club Sportivo San Lorenzo and Sportivo Luqueño . At the 2006 World Cup , he worked as Paraguay's assistant coach at Aníbal Ruiz 's side.
