Eduardo Javier Rubio Köstner (born 7 November 1983) is a Chilean football manager and former footballer.
Playing career
Club
Rubio made his debut for Universidad Católica in 2002 against Unión Española. After five years with Universidad Católica, Rubio left Chile at the beginning of 2007 for Mexico to play for Cruz Azul. In Mexico, Rubio went through a horrible time only playing nine times and never finding the back of the net. At the end of 2007 Rubio returned to Chile on a yearlong loan, to play for Colo-Colo where he enjoyed modest success. On 19 July 2008, it was announced he had signed for Swiss Super League Champions FC Basel on a yearlong loan.[1] Rubio confessed that he wants to excel for the Swiss team and wants to be the best player in the league. Rubio wants to regain his striker form and score goals to come back to the Chilean National Team coached by Marcelo Bielsa. He made his Basel debut on July 23, coming on a substitute for Fabian Frei during a 1–0 win over Grasshopper Club Zürich at St. Jakob-Park. He made his full debut in a 2–0 defeat to FC Sion at Stade Tourbillon on August 2. He scored his first goal for Basel the following Week (August 9) in a 4–0 win over FC Vaduz at St. Jakob-Park. He made first European appearance in a Basel shirt on 13 August 2008 as a substitute in a 0–0 Champions League Qualifying match draw against Vitória S.C. at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques. After playing just nine games for Basel, he returned to Cruz Azul in June 2009.
International
Rubio made his name with the Sub-20 squad during a competition held in Uruguay in 2003. On 17 November 2004, he made his debut for the Chilean national team in a 2–1 World Cup Qualifier defeat to Peru at the Estadio Nacional in Lima.
Managerial career
He graduated as Football Manager at the Instituto Nacional del Fútbol (National Football Institute) and began his managerial career in Colo-Colo at under-12 level in 2017.[2] After an outbreak of COVID-19, he replaced Gustavo Quinteros and managed Colo-Colo in the Chilean Primera División match against Audax Italiano on October 28, 2021.[3]
Personal life
Rubio studied engineering as well as playing professional football. He is also known as Pajarito and Edu and is the son of former Chilean international player Hugo "Pájaro" Rubio[4] and the grandson of Ildefonso Rubio,[5] a historical goalkeeper of Rangers de Talca.[6] His brothers Matías and Diego are professional footballers.[7]
