Gastón Ricardo Liendo (born 29 May 1974) is an Argentine football coach and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current assistant coach of Brazilian club Santos.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Rosario, Liendo was a Newell's Old Boys youth graduate. He made his first team debut on 27 August 1995, coming on as a substitute for Jorge Priotti in a 1–0 home loss to Lanús. He scored his first goal the following 11 June, netting his side's second in a 3–2 away loss to Independiente.
Liendo left for Racing Club in 1999, and subsequently represented Belgrano and Argentinos Juniors before returning to Newell's in 2002.[1] He moved abroad in the following year, joining Italian Serie B side FBC Unione Venezia in the 2003–04 season.[2]
After another full season at Mantova in the Serie C1, Liendo spent six months unemployed before returning to Belgrano in January 2006.[3] He helped the club to achieve promotion from Primera B Nacional, but did not feature in the first half of the 2006–07 campaign before leaving for Aldosivi.
Liendo joined Primera B Metropolitana side Central Córdoba de Rosario in 2007, and retired with the side in 2009, aged 35.
Managerial career
[edit]After retiring, Liendo returned to his first club Newell's as a manager of the youth categories. He was also an assistant in the main squad in 2014, in the period of Gustavo Raggio's reign.[4]
In October 2017, Liendo joined Juan Pablo Vojvoda's staff at Defensa y Justicia, as his assistant. He followed Vojvoda to Talleres,[3] Huracán,[5] Unión La Calera, Fortaleza[6] and Santos,[7] always under the same role.
