Jorge Luis Espejo Miranda (born 20 August 1976) is a Peruvian football manager and former player who played as a midfielder.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Lima, Espejo made his senior debut with Sport Boys in 1995. After spending the following year on loan at fellow top-tier side Guardia Republicana, he went on to establish himself as a regular in the Rosados, before moving to Alianza Lima in 2000.
Espejo returned to Sport Boys in 2001, but only remained a year and subsequently signed for FBC Melgar. He then represented Unión Huaral and Universidad San Martín before rejoining Sport Boys for a third spell in 2006.
In 2007, Espejo agreed to a deal with newcomers Total Clean. He rejoined Sport Boys for a fourth period in 2008, before returning to his previous club in 2009, now called Total Chalaco; he retired with the latter in the end of the campaign, aged 33.
Managerial career
[edit]Shortly after retiring, Espejo began his managerial career in 2010 while in charge of Deportivo Coopsol. He narrowly missed out promotion in the following year,[1] and subsequently left the club.
In May 2012, Espejo was named manager of Cobresol after the departure of Teddy Cardama,[2] but only as an interim manner, as the club later appointed Javier Chirinos as manager; Espejo was named in charge of the youth setup. On 18 September of that year, he was appointed manager of former club Sport Boys.[3]
Despite suffering relegation, Espejo continued in charge of the club for the 2013 campaign, but resigned on 8 July 2013.[4] On 19 August 2013, he was named Daniel Ahmed's assistant at Sporting Cristal for the 2014 campaign,[5] before taking over Cienciano on 23 December 2014.[6]
On 1 October 2015, Espejo left Cienciano due to the club's financial problems,[7] and was named in charge of Real Garcilaso on 17 December.[8] Sacked the following 1 May,[9] he worked for Cantolao's youth setup before being appointed manager of Comerciantes Unidos.[10]
Espejo subsequently returned to Cantolao's youth sides for the 2018 campaign, and was appointed manager of another former side, Unión Huaral, on 28 January 2019.[11] On 28 October 2020, he rejoined Cantolao for a third spell, but now as a first team manager.[12]
Espejo left Cantolao on a mutual consent on 28 September 2021,[13] and spent more than two years without a club before taking over Alianza Atlético on 1 March 2024.[14] He was sacked from the latter on 28 May, due to poor results.[15]
