Playing career
editBorn in Buenos Aires, del Valle began his career with hometown side River Plate, making his senior debut in 1991. He moved to fellow Primera División side Lanús in the following years, but only remained one season at his new side, after featuring rarely.[1]
From 1994 onwards, del Valle played for Primera B Nacional sides Sarmiento, Nueva Chicago, Deportivo Morón, Cipolletti and Gimnasia y Tiro, before moving abroad for the 2001 season, with Ecuadorian side LDU Quito. He helped the latter bounce back to the Serie A in 2001 as a starter, before featuring more sparingly in 2002 and subsequently signing for Técnico Universitario.
In 2003, del Valle returned to his home country and joined Aldosivi in the Torneo Federal A. He then played for Primera B Metropolitana side Temperley in 2005, before again moving abroad in the following year with Oriente Petrolero; he retired with the latter in 2007, aged 36.
Managerial career
editAfter retiring, del Valle returned to his former side Lanús and worked as a manager in the youth categories.[2] In 2016, he was also an assistant of Ariel Paolorossi in the Argentina national under-20 team during the 2016 COTIF Tournament.[3]
In 2019, del Valle joined Gabriel Schürrer's staff at Ecuadorian club Aucas, as his assistant. He followed Schürrer to Blooming, Mitre (SdE) and Deportivo Cuenca under the same role,[4] before being named manager of the latter on 12 December 2022, with Juan Zubeldía.[5]
del Valle and Zubeldía both left Cuenca on a mutual agreement on 3 May 2023.[6]
