Overview

  • Chávez, 39, retired in 2022 after five seasons with Wilstermann and became the club’s coach in April before stepping down from that role to rejoin the playing roster.
  • Unable to register new signings because of outstanding debts to former players, Wilstermann registered Chávez at the close of the July transfer window to fill squad gaps.
  • He entered the match against San Antonio de Bulo Bulo on August 12 in the 60th minute wearing number 10 but was shown a direct red card eight minutes later for a high tackle on Adalid Terrazas after VAR review.
  • Wilstermann’s 3-0 defeat left the team second-to-last in the División Profesional with six points from 16 matches and facing indirect relegation danger.
  • Chávez’s swift expulsion highlights the club’s ad hoc roster measures and underscores the unresolved financial and institutional crisis threatening its season.
