Humberto Suazo comes out of retirement; will play in Chilean First Division

Rayados de Monterrey legend “Chupete” Suazo announced his retirement from professional football back in January 2016, when he was part of his home country’s Colo-Colo. It didn’t last long, as just a year and a half later, he was summoned by San Antonio Unido (Second Division) club president Danilo Rojas. In January 2018, after only six months at the club, he announced his retirement for a second time, as he had plans to coach at an amateur level. Then, a year ago, in July 2019, Suazo announced his return yet again with San Antonio Unido.

After this up-and-down roller coaster ride of retirement indecision, at the age of 39, “Chupete” will make his return to First Division in Chile for the first time in four and a half years.
