Carlos Alfonso Cortijo McCubbin (born 22 August 1969) is a Peruvian football manager and former player.
Playing career
In 1986, Carlos Cortijo made his debut with Deportivo Municipal before moving to Deportivo AELU the following year.[1] He then played in Venezuela, notably for Deportivo Galicia.[1] In 1991, he returned to Peru and, after stints with Octavio Espinosa (Ica) and CNI (Iquitos), he ended his playing career in 1994.
Between 1986 and 1988, he was called up to the Peruvian U20 national team.[1]
Managerial career
Having become a coach, Carlos Cortijo specializes in the Peruvian second division, having started in this category with Universidad San Marcos in 2007. He subsequently won two consecutive D2 championships, in 2014 with Deportivo Municipal,[1] and then in 2015 with Comerciantes Unidos.[2]
He also had the opportunity to manage other second-division teams, including Juan Aurich in 2018, with less success. In 2019, he coached Pirata FC in the first division before resigning.[3] He returned in 2020 to manage the club again, this time in the second division.
In 2021, he moved to Ecuador to take charge of Cañar FC, a third-division Ecuadorian club.[4] Returning to Peru, he successively managed Unión Comercio, Deportivo Coopsol, Juan Aurich and León de Huánuco between 2021 and 2023.
