Career

Argentina and Brazil

He started his career at Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro in Argentina.

In 1995, he was promoted to the first team. He made his first-team debut that same year. In 2001, San Lorenzo won the Torneo Clausura 2001 and the Copa Mercosur.

In 2003, he signed with Boca Juniors. That year, the team won a national and an international tournament, Torneo Clausura 2003 and Copa Libertadores.

In 2004, he signed with Botafogo in Brazil where he remained for the first half of the season. In the middle of the year, Estévez returned to Argentina and signed with Colón de Santa Fe until the end of season. In 2005, he signed with Racing Club de Avellaneda.

Europe

In 2006, Estevéz arrived in Europe, to play for Academica de Coimbra in Portugal. However, due to the lack of opportunities during 2007, Estévez abandoned the club, and became a free agent.

Chile

In 2008, Estevéz accepted an offer to join Universidad de Chile. In the first semester Estévez was not meeting the club's expectations and his future with the club for the second semester was in question. On May 11, Estévez played against O'Higgins where he scored two goals, which secured his place in the second semester. In the second semester Estévez played well, participating in all matches and scoring six goals. However, in December he had problems with the club's management and left the club.

In 2009, he signed for Unión Española for whom he played regularly, nearly winning the Chilean national tournament. In the second semester he scored a goal against Vélez Sarsfield in the Copa Sudamericana.
