Career

Argentina and Brazil

He started his career in Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro in Argentina.

In 1995, he was promoted to the first team and made his debut the same year. In 2001 he was champion with San Lorenzo of the Torneo Clausura 2001 and the Copa Mercosur.

In 2003, he signed for Boca Juniors which won the national and international tournaments, Torneo Clausura 2003 and Copa Libertadores.

In 2004, he signed for Botafogo where he remained one semester. In the middle of the year Estévez returned to Argentina, and signed for Colón de Santa Fe where he remained one year. Thereafter, he signed for Racing Club de Avellaneda in which he was a key man in the first matches. A year later he went to Europe.

Europe

In 2006, Estvéz arrived in Europe, to play for Academica Coimbra in Portugal. However, due to the lack of opportunities in the middle of 2007, Estévez abandoned the club, and became a Free agent.

Chile

In 2008, Estevéz received an offer to join Universidad de Chile which he accepted. In the first semester Estévez was not meeting the club's expectations and his remaining with the club for the second semester was in question. On May 11, Estévez played against O'Higgins where he scored two goals, which secured his place in the second semester. In the second semester Estévez played well, participating in all matches and scoring six goals. However in December he had problems with the club's management and left the club.

In 2009, he signed for Unión Española for which he played regularly, nearly winning the Chilean national tournament. In the second semester he scored a goal against Vélez Sarsfield in the Copa Sudamericana.
