Football career
He made his professional debut with Colo-Colo more than a decade ago on November 26, 1996, in the final of the Copa Chile against Rangers. He has spent his entire career, except one year when he was playing on loan at Puerto Montt, playing with Colo-Colo as a defender.
In the 2000s, and whilst he was playing for Colo-Colo, he also studied a technical-professional career in physical activity at the University of the Americas, where also was classmate of his teammates Claudio Bravo, Fernando Meneses and Miguel Riffo.[1]
Mena was the captain of the Under-20 Chilean national team between 1998 and 1999, also winning the L'Alcúdia Tournament in 1998.[2] He has been described as "not the most flashiest or talented footballer", but Mena is known for his loyalty to Colo-Colo and his calm leadership on the field.[3]
Managing career
Luis Mena became the interim head coach for Colo-Colo women in January 2021, replacing Vanessa Arauz.[4] On 24 February 2021, he was officially appointed as the head coach.[5]
