Claudio Andrés del Tránsito Maldonado Rivera (born 3 January 1980) is a Chilean professional football coach and former player. Since 2020, he has been working as Maurício Barbieri's assistant coach.[1]
He formerly played as a defensive midfielder for clubs as Colo-Colo, São Paulo, Cruzeiro, Santos, Fenerbahçe, Flamengo and Corinthians.
Playing career
Early career
As a child, Maldonado was with Escuela de Fútbol Municipal de Curicó (Municipal Football Academy of Curicó), later named Juventud 2000, what was founded by the former professional footballer Luis Hernán Álvarez. Next, he moved to Colo-Colo youth ranks after being seen by Néstor Pékerman.[2]
São Paulo
He spent three seasons with São Paulo making 36 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A appearances with the team.
Cruzeiro
In May 2003, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, then coach of Cruzeiro, bought the services of Maldonado. At the time of the purchase, Maldonado's then girlfriend was Luxemburgo's daughter. Nevertheless, while with Cruzeiro, Maldonado experienced the most success of his career. In 2003, he played for the first team in the history of Brazilian football to win the triple crown.
Santos
For the 2006 season, Maldonado was reunited with former Cruzeiro's coach Luxemburgo at Santos Template:Fact span However at the end of the Brazilian season was scheduled to have ankle surgery which caused him to miss up to two months. After recuperating Maldonado continued playing for Santos reaching the semi-finals of the 2007 Copa Libertadores. Currently Santos has completed the 2007 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A in second place and are eligible to compete in the upcoming Copa Libertadores 2008. He was being tracked by Fenerbahçe, Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax but no firm offers better than Fenerbahçe have been made. At 28 he was at the peak of his potential and European teams wanted to capitalise on this, but they were probably put off by the 8 red cards that he had received in the previous 3 years at club level.
Fenerbahçe
On the beginning of 2008 Maldonado signed with Fenerbahçe in <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄2-year contract, at that time managed by Zico. The transaction was via C.A. Rentistas, which the proxy club paid Santos R$2,225,040.[3] He struggled with injuries and spend a little more than a year in the Turkish club.
Flamengo
On August 27, 2009, Flamengo signed a 1-year contract with Maldonado.[4] His debut for his new club was as a substitute in a 3-0 win against Santo André,[5] but since his second match became a first team player. In his first ten matches Flamengo did not suffer any goals, nine of those playing along with Álvaro which signed with Flamengo at the same time, proving his was back at his high level. He scored his first goal for Flamengo after just few matches on November 8 against Atlético Mineiro.[6] His good moment made Chile national team coach Marcelo Bielsa call him up to national team after a period absent.[7] But his return to national team, on November 17 against Slovakia, wasn't as expected, Maldonado played well as a starter, although in the second half he suffered a serious injury in his left knee ligaments leaving out of the fields for four months.[8][9][10][11] Maldonado signed a new 6-month contract in August 2010 and a 2-year contract in January 2011.
Coaching career
In 2018, Maldonado started his coaching journey as an assistant coach to Héctor Tapia at Colo-Colo, the club where he began his professional career and retired from three years prior.[12] He followed Tapia to Real Garcilaso in 2019. In 2020, he joined Maurício Barbieri as his assistant coach at CSA, continuing to work together at Red Bull Bragantino and later at Vasco da Gama.[13][14] In 2024, he followed him to Mexican club Juárez.[1]
