Club career

Nicknamed "Buffalo", his career began with Oriente Petrolero, where he played from 1995 to 2002 with a short interval at the Argentine club Lanús. Coimbra then went to Mexico, where he played for Puebla F.C. (2002–2003) and Correcaminos UAT (2004), before moving to Ras Al Khaima in the United Arab Emirates (2004), then to the Greek team Ionikos (2005) and later to the Chinese side Beijing Guoan (2006). During early 2007, he joined the Chilean club O'Higgins along with fellow countryman José Alfredo Castillo, but after a few games he returned to Oriente for the remainder of the year. In 2008, he was loaned to Guabirá. The team was relegated to the second division and he left after the season came to an end. During his fourth spell with Oriente during the 2009 Apertura tournament, Coimbra surprisingly announced his withdrawal from professional football at the age of 34. [1]

International career

He played for the Bolivia national team between 1996 and 2005, scoring 7 goals in 43 games. [2] He represented his country in 17 FIFA World Cup qualification matches. [3]
