Óscar Trejo joins the AFE to start a new chapter | OneFootball

The former captain and Rayo Vallecano icon joins the union’s Member Services Department

Óscar Guido Trejo has decided on the next step in his career after definitively hanging up his boots. The legendary former Rayo Vallecano player and captain has joined the internal structure of the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) to become part of the Member Services Department, an area headed by the union’s general secretary, Diego Rivas. With this move, the former Argentine footballer begins a new professional chapter closely linked to top-level football, swapping the pitch for the defense and comprehensive protection of his fellow professionals’ rights.

In his new role, Trejo’s main task will be to maintain a permanent and close line of communication with First and Second Division squads. His extensive experience in dressing rooms will allow him to identify firsthand the demands, concerns, and issues footballers face throughout the competition. Likewise, the organization has confirmed that “Chocota” will take on institutional representation duties at events and public appearances where AFE has an official presence, further establishing him as a key link between the union and the elite of Spanish football.

In this way, Trejo extends his connection with professional sport after a long career that led him to wear the shirts of clubs such as Boca Juniors, RCD Mallorca, Elche CF, Real Sporting de Gijón and Toulouse FC. However, it was at Rayo Vallecano where the Santiago del Estero-born attacker left an indelible mark, especially after his return in 2017, when he became the great leader of the red-sashed club’s dressing room and one of the most beloved figures among the Vallecas supporters. After bringing his playing career to a close at the end of last season, the former footballer is now putting all his experience at the service of the players’ collective.
