His family is Syrian - Lebanese made up of his parents and 12 siblings, who in search of a better future in the mid 50's decided to emigrate to Colombia.
They came to the coffee country by boat crossing the entire ocean from their hometown Beirut to the city of Barranquilla. In Colombia they took another boat crossing the Magdalena River to the city of Neiva. Upon arrival, they changed their surnames to "Rujana Perdomo" and continued with their high school studies at the technical college.
Alberto is studying physical education, recreation and sport at the Universidad Surcolombiana. Later he specialized as a soccer technical director in Italy where he did his practices in the AC Milan youth teams.
Before finishing his university studies, he was contacted by the DT of Millonarios of that time Gabriel Ochoa Uribe who, seeing that he was an outstanding student in all sports, decided to give him the opportunity to prove himself with the ambassador team, with whom he only played 1 professional game in the six months he was there in the position of right pointer.
Rujana studied around six months in Italy, with teams as AC Milan and Internazionale.[4] The first professional team in which he worked as manager was Atlético Huila, team with which won the 1992 Categoría Primera B season in his first year at the club. On 1999, he becomes manager of Peruvian club Unión Minas. For the 2001, he returns to Colombia, where becomes manager of Real Cartagena, and the next year is hired by Unión Atlético Maracaibo of Venezuela.
In July 2010, he becomes manager of Salvadoran club C.D. FAS, but is fired three months later. In July 2012, he is contracted by the recently founded Categoría Primera B club Llaneros F.C., however he resigned in October 2013.

There, they Hispanicized their names and changed their surnames Rujana Perdomo.
