Javier Delgado Prado (born 28 July 1968) is a Costa Rican former professional football player and coach.
Delgado spent the majority of his career at hometown club Alajuelense, but had a spell abroad at Guatemalan side Municipal and a season at Santa Bárbara.
Delgado made 33 appearances for the Costa Rica national football team,[1] including qualifying matches for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
He started his managerial career with his beloved Liga in 2003, but they released him in February 2006 citing insufficient results.[2] In December 2006, Delgado took the reins at Herediano[3] but was sacked by them in March 2008.[4] Delgado then took charge of Puntarenas in May 2008, four weeks after leaving Herediano,[5] but left the club in October 2008 citing personal reasons.[6] He joined Ramonense in September 2009[7] and later moved abroad to his former club Municipal, who dismissed him in September 2012.[8]
In November 2012 he was appointed by Cartaginés,[9] leaving them in March 2013[10] and in August 2014, Delgado replaced Hernán Medford as manager of Honduran side Real España.[11]
