Diego Vásquez (born 3 July 1971 in San Martín, Argentina) is a retired football player who currently serves as coach for C.D. Motagua in the Honduran Liga Nacional.^[1]

Club career

Nicknamed Barbie, Vásquez played most of his career in Honduras as a goalkeeper, most notably for C.D. Motagua where he conquered several titles and individual awards.^[2] He began his career playing for his hometown club San Martín de Mendoza.^[3]

His debut for Motagua occurred on 24 August 1997, where he saved two penalty kicks in the 1–0 victory over C.D.S. Vida.^[4] According to Diego, his most memorable event as a player took place in the final series of the 1999–2000 Honduran Liga Nacional season against Club Deportivo Olimpia where after a 0–0 global score, the title had to be decided by penalty shoot-outs in which Vásquez saved the decisive kick to give Motagua its 8th national championship.^[5]

Vásquez retired from professional football in 2011 playing for Deportes Savio.^[6]

Managerial career

Just as he did as a player, Vásquez began with C.D. Motagua his career as a manager in Honduras in 2013.^[7] The first achievement under his management occurred only a year after in the 2014–15 season, a success which represented Motagua's 13th national title.^[8] In his first shot as a manager, he already owns the accomplishment of having 120+ consecutive games leading a Honduran Liga Nacional club as a coach, numbers which are only outmatched by Carlos Padilla, also with Motagua.^[9]
