Career

edit

Having spent time in the youth sectors of Internazionale, Olivares began his career with Virescit Bergamo in Serie C1. After being scouted in Interregionale matches, he was taken to SS Lazio, where he made just two appearances, returning to Virescit Bergamo. He later played for SPAL and Bologna, where he won two consecutive titles, reaching Serie A again. Olivares also had a notable spell at Bari, where he played for four seasons in Serie A.

In 2001, while playing for Como, Olivares was caught in anti-doping for cocaine use, being suspended for eight months, and returning to play only for Serie C1 and Serie D clubs.[1][2] He ended his career at Virtus Abbiatense, a team where he also held various other roles as coach of the main and youth squads.[3]
