Career

[edit]

Illanes was born in Uncía, and played for Magisterio Rural, Universitario de Sucre, The Strongest, Independiente Petrolero and Unión Central before retiring in 2000.[1] Immediately after retiring he took up coaching, after becoming the manager of Stormers San Lorenzo.

In 2001, Illanes returned to his former club Independiente Petrolero; initially an interim manager, he became the side's permanent manager until the end of 2002. He subsequently left to create a football school in Sucre, and only returned to coaching duties in 2005, as Eduardo Villegas' assistant at another former club, The Strongest.

Illanes followed Villegas to Universitario Sucre as his assistant for the 2006 campaign, but was appointed manager of the side on 7 December of that year after Villegas returned to Strongest.[2] He subsequently returned to his assistant role, and returned to work with Villegas in 2010 at Jorge Wilstermann.

In 2012, Illanes became Mauricio Soria's assistant at The Strongest, and subsequently worked with the manager at Wilstermann and Real Potosí. For the 2014 season, he was named manager of the latter club.

In the following years, Illanes worked as Soria's assistant at the Bolivia national team in two periods.[3] On 21 August 2018, he was appointed manager of Nacional Potosí.[4] He left the club in December 2019 after his contract expired, and took over The Strongest the following 9 March.[5]

Sacked by Strongest on 22 April 2021,[6] Illanes was named in charge of Nacional Potosí on 6 August.[7] He resigned on 23 November,[8] and returned to Wilstermann on 8 August 2022, now as manager.[9]

On 31 December 2022, Illanes resigned from Wilstermann,[10] and took over fellow top-tier side Universitario de Vinto the following 5 January.[11]

Illanes was sacked from U de Vinto on 13 July 2023,[12] and returned to Nacional Potosí the following 20 April, replacing Claudio Biaggio.[13] He was dismissed from the latter on 8 August 2024.[14]
