Playing career

Ortiz's career started in 1989 with Gimnasia y Esgrima.[1] He made his debut in the Argentine Primera División, which was the first of two hundred and fifteen appearances in Argentina's top tier.[1] After seven years with Gimnasia y Esgrima, Ortiz left in 1996 to play for Huracán of the Primera División.[1] He scored one goal in thirty-six matches during 1996–97 which ended with relegation.[1] He remained in the Primera División as he signed for Gimnasia y Tiro but suffered relegation yet again following twenty-two appearances.[1] Ortiz ended his career with moves to Primera B Nacional teams Almirante Brown and Independiente Rivadavia.[1]

Coaching career

Ortiz made his first step into football management in May 2011, as he became manager of former club Gimnasia y Esgrima.[4][5] He drew his first match in charge against Quilmes.[4] He departed the club in July 2011 as Gimnasia y Esgrima were relegated to Primera B Nacional.[6] On 8 April 2012, Ortiz was appointed Primera B Nacional side Boca Unidos's new manager.[7] He guided them to a fifth place finish in 2011–12, missing the play-offs by twelve points.[4] He remained until December 2012 when he resigned.[8] June 2014 saw Ortiz become the manager of Estudiantes alongside Pablo Morant in Torneo Federal A.[9]

In his first season, 2014, Estudiantes won promotion to Primera B Nacional after finishing top of Zone 2.[4] He left Estudiantes in August 2015.[10] Almost a year later, in July 2016, Ortiz was appointed by Primera B Nacional's Atlético Paraná.[11] He was sacked in April 2017 following just six wins in twenty-four games.[12] Ortiz was made the caretaker manager of Gimnasia y Esgrima on 22 April 2018 following the sacking of Facundo Sava.[13] In his final league match of 2017–18, Ortiz won the first match of his caretaker tenure.[13] Gimnasia y Esgrima beat Newell's Old Boys 2–0, with Darío's son Nicolás scoring the opening goal.[13]

Ortiz was replaced by Pedro Troglio on 15 May.[14] However, in the succeeding February he took over from Troglio on a full-time basis following the latter's sacking.[15] Despite successfully avoiding relegation in 2018–19, Ortiz was dismissed within two months of their 2019–20 campaign after a run four losses in five league games.[16][17] He was replaced by Diego Maradona.[18][19] In March 2020, Ortiz was announced as the new manager of Primera B Nacional side Mitre.[2][3]
