Born in Bogotá, González joined local side Santa Fe at age 16, where he played as a central defender, and won the 1975 Campeonato Profesional championship with Santa Fe. As a manager, he led Santa Fe to the 2009 Copa Colombia title.[3]
After he retired from playing football, González studied business administration, but did not complete his degree. Instead, he began coaching youth football, eventually leading Santa Fe's under-23 side. After success with Santa Fe's youth side, he was appointed technical director of Deportes Tolima in 1991, his first professional football management position.[4]
