Club career

A product of Colo-Colo youth system, Huerta was loaned to Alianza Lima for the 1988 season after the tragic plane crash that suffered the Peruvian squad on 8 December 1987, alongside his fellows José Letelier, Parcko Quiroz and René Pinto. The deal was for three months, but he stayed in Peru all the year. He made his debut against Coronel Bolognesi on 3 January 1988, playing alongside Teófilo Cubillas.[1]

After a stint with Cobreandino, where he scored two goals,[2] he returned to Peru and played for Inter San Borja,[3] Ovación Sipesa,[4] with whom he won the 1992 Torneo Zonal and got promotion to the top level,[5] and Cienciano.[6]

He retired at the age of 29.[1]

Coaching career

He graduated as a football manager at the INAF (National Football Institute) and began his career at the Colo-Colo youth ranks. He also has worked for the youth ranks of Deportes Temuco and San Antonio Unido as well as the head coach of both.[8] In 2019 he assumed as the head coach of San Antonio Unido, replacing Freddy Ferragut.[9]

In 2022, he assumed as the coach of La Pintana Unida in the Chilean Tercera A.[9] After, he joined Fernández Vial youth system.[10]

Personal life

As a player of Alianza Lima, he was nicknamed El Rey de la Huacha (The King of the Nutmeg).[1]
