Career
[edit]Player
[edit]He emerged from the University of Chile in the 1960s. These years were historic for the "U" and were the period known as Ballet Azul. For a decade and a half he was a key figure in La Red.
At the end of that decade he migrated to Mexican football, where he became the star in the central defense of Cruz Azul, pairing with Javier "Kaliman" Guzman. He stayed there for six years.
He found a partner in Elias Figueroa, with whom he formed a defensive partnership, described as a true "wall" in the World Alemania '74.
He participated in the 1969 playoffs for the World Cup in Mexico '70 and in the 1977 playoffs for the World Cup in Argentina 1978. On both occasions Chile was not ranked.
Quintano ended his career as an active player playing for Club Deportivo Magallanes.
Manager

He returned to Chile where he directed Everton, Deportes La Serena and University of Chile, where he first took over the youth divisions and then the first team. Between 1992 and 1993 he became Chief of Technical Divisions under the University of Chile, and then Director-General of all classes indoors.
From 1996 to 1998, he participated as Technical Manager at the National Association of Professional Football. (ANFP). In this capacity, he worked with Nelson Acosta, participating in the South American playoffs for the France 98 World Cup.
