Mario Cordero

Mario Cordero

Mario Cordero Brenes (born 7 April 1930) is a former Costa Rican football player and coach; he is still considered in his country as one of the top defenders to have played the game.[1]

Better known as "Catato", he was part of the Deportivo Saprissa team that went on a World Tour in 1959, becoming the first Latin American team to ever do such a trip. Catato was the leader and captain of Deportivo Saprissa during the 50's and early 60's. During those years, he played the same role in the Costa Rica national football team, making 41 appearances.[2] Catato is remembered as a player, for his chivalry in and out of the field, as well as his great positioning in the field, his great shoot and security as a defender.

As coach, Catato guided Saprissa to four national titles in the 60's, adding up to the four he had won previously as a player. He also managed Costa Rica's national team.[1]
