Career
[edit]Born in Cali, Cárdenas worked for the Valle del Cauca Department League and Boca Juniors de Cali before joining Deportivo Cali in 2011, as a youth coach. On 9 October 2012, he was named interim manager of the first team for the remainder of the season, after Julio Comesaña resigned.[1]
Cárdenas returned to his previous role after the appointment of Leonel Álvarez, but was named manager of the club on 26 February 2014, after Álvarez was sacked.[2] On 2 December 2014, Deportivo Cali announced that Cárdenas would not be the manager of the club for the ensuing campaign,[3] and he subsequently returned to the youth setup.
On 13 March 2017, Cárdenas was again named manager of the first team in the place of Mario Yepes.[4] On 17 October, however, he was himself dismissed.[5]
On 30 May 2018, Cárdenas was appointed manager of the Colombia national under-17 team.[6] He became the manager of the under-20s on 16 February 2022,[7] being also named interim manager of the full side in May.[8] On 27 June 2023, he was also appointed as manager of the national under-23 team,[9] however, he was dismissed from the Colombian youth sides on 12 February 2024 following the poor performances of the under-23 side at the 2023 Pan American Games and the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament.[10]
On 14 August 2024, Cárdenas was announced as manager of Internacional F.C. de Palmira, in the Colombian second tier league Categoría Primera B.[11]
