Career

edit

Born in Corral de Bustos, Desio played as a youth for hometown side Sporting Club de Corral de Bustos and Independiente. He made his senior debut with the latter in 1993, but played rarely before retiring from professional football due to injuries; he still played in the regional categories, being managed by his brother at Alumni de Casilda in 2000, where both met Jorge Sampaoli who was at the time manager of Aprendices Casildenses.[1]

Desio started his managerial career at his first club Sporting Corral de Bustos, taking over the youth sides and the first team before joining Sampaoli's staff at the Chile national team in 2012, as an audiovisual analyst. He then worked as an assistant manager of Hugo Ragelli in the under-20 team before returning to his home country in 2015, as manager of Talleres de Córdoba's youth setup.[2]

In July 2017, Desio was named Pablo Aimar's assistant at the Argentina under-17 national team.[3] In May of the following year, he was named in charge of the under-19 side[4] before rejoining Sampaoli's staff at Santos in December 2018.[5]

Desio followed Sampaoli to Atlético Mineiro in the 2020 season, but left with the manager in February 2021. On 1 June, he was appointed manager of Peruvian Primera División side Binacional.[6]

On 3 December 2021, Desio was named manager of Sport Huancayo also in the Peruvian top tier for the 2022 season.[7] The following 9 August, after a poor start of the Clausura, he was sacked.[8]

On 7 November 2022, Desio was named in charge of Alianza Atlético also in the Peruvian top tier.[9] The following 11 May, he left the club on a mutual agreement.[10]

On 11 November 2023, Desio took over fellow Peruvian side ADT.[11] He resigned due to personal reasons on 16 June 2024.[12]
