Mauricio Alberto Neveu León (born 23 February 1979) is a Chilean former footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.

Club career[edit]

Born in Viña del Mar, Chile, Neveu was with club Flecha Verde from Quilpué before joining the Santiago Wanderers youth system at the age of eleven,[2][3][4] coinciding with players such as Reinaldo Navia and David Pizarro.[5] He made his professional debut thanks to the coach Pedro García in a match against Coquimbo Unido in 1998.[4]

In his homeland, he developed his career with Santiago Wanderers from 1998 to 2003, all seasons in the Chilean top division, except in 1999 when the club played at the second level and became the runner-up of the league.[3] He took part in the 2001 league title,[6] scoring a goal,[7] and the 2002 Copa Libertadores.[8][9] He also played for the B-team in the 2000 Tercera División alongside fellows such as Jorge Ormeño, Joel Soto and Mauricio Rojas.[4]

He moved abroad in 2004 and joined Indonesian club PSMS Medan thanks to the agent Nelson León Sánchez with Juan Rodríguez Vega as coach.[4][10] In the same year, he switched to Vietnamese club Hòa Phát Hà Nội.[3][2]

From 2005 to 2012, he played in Switzerland for Dardania Lausanne (2005–06), FC Epalinges (2007) and FC Chile Sport (2008–12).[2][3]

International career[edit]

Neveu represented Chile U20 in the 1999 South American Championship in Argentina,[11][12] making four appearances.[4]

Back in Chile, Neveu joined Club Deportivo Flecha Verde as coach at youth level and vice president.[2][13]
