Career
editBorn in Montevideo, López began his career with Cerrito in 1998.[3] In the 2006–07 season he led Rampla Juniors away from relegation, and finished third in the 2007 Apertura before leaving the club for Juventud de Las Piedras in June 2008.[4] He was sacked from the latter club in September.[5]
López spent a short period in charge of Fénix[6] before returning to Juventud in 2010, but was sacked from the latter in April 2011.[7] He returned to Rampla in November of the following year,[8] but resigned in July 2013.
López was in charge of Central Español during the 2014–15 Uruguayan Segunda División season,[9] before returning to Rampla in 2016 as a sporting director. On 17 April 2017, he was again appointed manager after Fernando Araújo resigned.[10]
López resigned from Rampla on 6 May 2018,[11] and was named sporting director at Sud América the following 25 January.[12] He was an interim manager of the side on two occasions during the 2019 and 2020 campaigns before leaving the club on 1 June 2021, stating a desire to return to managerial duties.[13]
On 5 October 2021, López returned to Sud América, now as manager.[14]
