Dayron Alexander Pérez Calle (born 24 December 1978) is a Colombian football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of Colombian club Patriotas.

Playing career

[edit]

Born in Medellín, Pérez started his career with Once Caldas, but only featured rarely for the first team during his first spell. He then represented Venezuelan sides Estudiantes de Mérida and Deportivo Italchacao before returning to his home country with Boyacá Chicó.

In 2008, Pérez returned to Once Caldas, and featured regularly before losing his starting spot and moving to Deportivo Pereira in the middle of 2010. In January 2011, he agreed to a deal with América de Cali,[1] but the move was later declared void after being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Álvaro Aponte; the player, however, stated that he was "lied to" by the board of the club.[2]

Pérez subsequently joined Cúcuta Deportivo, being a regular starter before moving to Atlético Huila for the 2013 campaign. After leaving the latter club in 2014, he subsequently represented Águilas Doradas and Jaguares de Córdoba, retiring with the latter in 2016.

Managerial career

[edit]

Shortly after retiring, Pérez returned to former club Atlético Huila, being named assistant manager for Oswaldo Duran and later manager of their youth sides. On 10 September 2018, he was named interim manager after Néstor Craviotto was sacked.[3]

Pérez returned to his former role after the appointment of Luis Fernando Herrera in March 2019,[4] but was again named interim in October after Jorge Luis Bernal was dismissed.[5] He then returned to his previous role for the 2020 campaign, after the appointment of Flavio Robatto.

On 30 September 2020, Pérez was definitely appointed manager in the place of Robatto who resigned a few days later.[6] He remained as manager after the team's promotion to Categoría Primera A but resigned on 17 August 2021.[7]

On 18 July 2022, Pérez was appointed as manager of Panamanian side Atlético Chiriquí, managing them for 32 matches until his departure on 30 June 2023. Nearly three months later he returned to Colombia, being named as manager of Envigado.[8] He left Envigado on a mutual agreement on 1 April 2024.[9]

On 16 September 2024, Pérez was appointed as manager of Categoría Primera A club Patriotas.[10]
