Raised in Avellaneda, Coll was the youngest of seven children, and he and his two brothers would each become professional footballers. His oldest brother Andrés played for Club Atlético Independiente and Racing Club de Avellaneda, while Norberto played for River Plate and Union Espanola of Chile. Óscar began with Club Atlético River Plate's reserve team playing in the fourth division before joining the first team as a right-side attacker (an extremo derecha).[2]

Next, Coll joined Club Atlético Platense for three seasons before San Lorenzo de Almagro for the 1954–55 season. He would move to Spain after that season, joining RCD Espanyol.[2]
