A talented goalkeeper, Siboldi played most of his club career in Mexico and for the Uruguay national team between 1992-1997.
As a manager, Siboldi has been Liga MX champion twice, with Santos Laguna and Tigres UANL, respectively, in only three playoffs disputed. Both of his Liga MX championships were as interim coach.
Siboldi played professional club football in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia.
In Mexico, he played for Atlas, Cruz Azul, Puebla, and UANL Tigres.
He arrived to Tigres in 1995, a season in which the team was relegated to Primera División A. Siboldi chose to stay, and was instrumental in returning the team to First Division within the year. He became an idol between the fans of the team. He played for Tigres until 1999.
Siboldi made his international debut on June 21, 1992, in a friendly against Australia (2-0). He obtained a total number of 34 international caps for the Uruguay national football team.
Siboldi was announced on May 4, 2009, as the new Cruz Azul coach, replacing Benjamin Galindo.
On August 8, 2018, Santos Laguna announced they had accepted Siboldi's resignation after a conflict with a player. [1] [2]
On 19 April 2021, Club Tijuana announced that Siboldi would take over the club after former coach Pablo Guede resigned following a 3-2 loss against Mazatlan FC. On 29 September 2021, Club Tijuana announced that Siboldi would no longer be the coach for Club Tijuana leaving the club after 5 months in charge following a 3-0 loss against Club Necaxa the day before.

On 5 March 2022, Siboldi was appointed as the manager of Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli. [4] He was sacked on 4 September 2022. [5] He got the club relegated to the First Division for the first time in its history.
On 10 April 2023, Siboldi became the head coach of Tigres UANL. At the time, they were in contention for a playoff spot with only three games remaining. Tigres UANL went on to win the league title, beating Guadalajara in the final.
On 2 June 2024, after allegations surfaced that Siboldi's assistant had leaked privileged information to Monterrey, Siboldi demanded evidence from club management, who refused, leading to his dismissal two days later. [6]
On 20 May 2025, Mazatlán announced Siboldi as their new head coach. On December 12, Siboldi resigned from his position following the announcement of the club’s sale and its impending disappearance.
