Luis Enrique Cordero Cuéllar (born 8 April 1981) is a Peruvian football manager and former player.

Playing career

Nicknamed Pompo, Luis Cordero was developed at Universitario de Deportes. He began his career there in 1998, given his debut by coach Oswaldo Piazza at the age of 17.[3] With Universitario, he won three consecutive Peruvian championships in 1998, 1999 and 2000 and participated in two Copa Libertadores tournaments in 2000 and 2001 (two matches in total, no goals).[1]

After stints with Alianza Atlético, FBC Melgar and Unión Huaral between 2002 and 2003, he returned to Universitario in 2004.

In 2007, he signed with Universidad César Vallejo and won the second division championship that same year. In 2011, he won again the second division championship with José Gálvez FBC. In 2012, he won the Copa Perú with Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca. He ended his career in 2016 with Carlos A. Mannucci of Trujillo.

Although he never played for the senior national team, Luis Cordero played with the U20 team in the CONMEBOL U20 Championship in 1999.[2] The following year, he played for the Peruvian Olympic team in the 2000 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[2]

Managerial career

Luis Cordero has managed several Copa Perú (Peruvian fourth division) clubs since 2016, including Alfonso Ugarte de Chiclín in 2017.[4]

However, it is as a women's football coach that he has achieved his best results, notably leading the Carlos A. Mannucci women's team to two consecutive Peruvian championship podium finishes in 2022 (runner-up) and 2023 (third place).[3] He will also be in charge of the club's men's team in 2025.[5]
