Playing career
editGarcía was born in Manizales, and began his career with Real Santander. He was sold to Atlético Nacional for the 2010 season, but spent that year on loan at Atlético La Sabana as both clubs reached a partnership.[1]
García spent the first half of the 2011 campaign nursing a knee injury,[2] and was released by the Verdolagas in December, after failing to make a single appearance for the club.[3] He subsequently returned to Real Santander, before signing for Uniautónoma in January 2015.[4]
García returned to Real Santander for the 2016 season, before retiring in January 2018, aged just 29.[5]
Managerial career
editImmediately after retiring, García was named sporting director of his last club Real Santander.[5] On 19 December 2018, he was appointed manager of the club, which had moved to San Andrés and renamed to Real San Andrés.[6]
García was in charge of Real Santander until 5 January 2024, when the club announced his departure.[7] Seventeen days later, he was named Hernán Darío Gómez's assistant at Águilas Doradas.[8]
On 28 March 2024, García was appointed interim manager of Águilas, after Gómez was sacked.[9] Although he was confirmed as manager for the remainder of the year on 15 May, he was sacked on 7 October.[10]
