Osmar Eduardo Castillo Rojas (born 3 August 1978) is a Venezuelan football manager.

Career

[edit]

Born in Cabudare,[1] Castillo started working as manager at several local sides in Lara state.[2] He led Fundación Lara Deportiva to a first-ever promotion to the Segunda División in 2019, after winning the Tercera División promotion play-offs. After being in charge of the side during the 2020 and 2021 seasons (as the club was named Academia Rey), the side confirmed his departure on 24 March 2022.[3]

Castillo was an assistant of Jorge Durán at Deportivo Lara, before taking over Angostura in the second division on 2 June 2022.[4] At the end of the season, he led the team to a first-ever promotion to the Primera División as champions.[5]

Castillo led Angostura to a mid-table finish in the 2023 season, and also qualified the club to the final rounds of the 2024 Apertura tournament. On 6 September 2024, however, he left the club by mutual consent after a poor performance in the Clausura tournament.[6]
