José Manuel Rey
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Family name hatnote Template:Infobox football biography José Manuel Rey Cortegoso (born 20 May 1975) is a Venezuelan former footballer who played as a central defender, currently a manager.
Known as Pokémon and Tetero,[1] and a free kick specialist,[2] he represented mainly Caracas in a 20-year professional career.
Rey was at one time Venezuela's second-most ever capped player, surpassing 100 international appearances.[3] He was part of the squads at six Copa América tournaments.
Club career
During his career, Rey played mainly with Caracas FC, also representing several clubs in Europe and South America: C.S. Marítimo de Venezuela, C.S. Emelec (two spells), Pontevedra CF, Atlético Nacional and AEK Larnaca FC. In 1995, he had a short spell with Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain, but only appeared for the reserves.[4] In 2000 he signed a pre-contract with Dundee FC, but ultimately failed to join to the Scottish side.
In late September 2009, Rey was sent on loan to Colo-Colo in Chile, as a replacement for injured Luis Mena. After an irregular start he established himself in the starting XI, helping them win the Primera División championship.
The loan was to be extended if Colo-Colo qualified to the Copa Libertadores, which eventually happened, but Rey returned to Caracas. In January 2011, after five spells with his main club, the 35-year-old signed for A.C.C.D. Mineros de Guayana.[5]
Rey changed teams again in June 2011, moving to Asociación Civil Deportivo Lara. He retired four years later aged 40,[6] and subsequently worked as manager of Aragua F.C.[7] and Monagas S.C.[8]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". but also sporting director of Deportivo Lara.[9]
International career
Rey played 115 international matches for the Venezuela national team. His debut came on 8 June 1997, in a 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Bolivia in Valera (1–1 draw).[10]
On 13 October 2007, Rey scored from a spectacular free kick in a 1–0 win over Ecuador in the 2010 World Cup qualifying stages. This signalled Ecuador's first defeat in Quito in six years.[11][12]
On 6 September 2008, in a 1–0 loss to Peru at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, in another qualifier, Rey became the first player to appear 100 times for Venezuela.[13][14] He also represented the nation in six Copa América tournaments.
During one year, Rey acted as second in command to Noel Sanvicente at the national side's coaching staff.[15]
