Telmo Carbajo Cavero (14 April 1889 – 12 July 1948) was a Peruvian footballer and manager.
Characterized by his versatility, he played as a striker, but also played as a midfielder, defender and goalkeeper, in addition to playing other sports such as basketball, cricket and baseball.[1]
Nicknamed Abuelito (Grandpa), Telmo Carbajo was the undisputed star of Jorge Chávez No. 1, which won the Peruvian championship in 1913.[1] But it was with a club in Callao that he became truly associated with the sport: Atlético Chalaco. After retiring as a player from Chalaco in 1928, he led them to the 1930 Peruvian championship as their coach.[2]
He also had the opportunity to coach the Peruvian national team during the 1935 South American Championship.[3]
He died on July 12, 1948.[1] As a tribute, the club Atlético Telmo Carbajo was named after him, as was the Telmo Carbajo Stadium in Callao, which was renamed in his honor in 1949.
