Playing career
Nicknamed Titín, Roberto Drago Maturo began his career at Deportivo Municipal in 1969. He also played for Defensor Lima, Atlético Chalaco and Sporting Cristal before hanging up his boots at Lawn Tennis, a 2nd division club, in 1983.[1]
Managerial career
After becoming a coach, he led Alianza Atlético to second place in the Copa Perú in 1984,[2] a club he would coach a second time in 1994. In the 1990s, he served as coach of Peru's youth national teams (U20 in 1992 and U17 twice, in 1991 and 1997).[3]
Following in the footsteps of his father, who was a player and coach for Deportivo Municipal, Roberto Drago Maturo took over the reins of the club in 1997 and again from 2000 to 2002. However, it was with Sport Boys that he achieved true success, winning the Peruvian Second Division championship in 2009.[4]
He worked as a sports commentator for the Peruvian sports channel Gol Perú, while also serving as president of the Peruvian Association of Racehorse Owners (APCCP).[5]
