Bustos, 56, is a coach with extensive experience in South American football and his profile fits with the blue intention of incorporating a foreign strategist. His career as a coach has been marked by several successes, especially in Ecuador and Peru: he was champion with Delfín (including promotion and title in the First Division) and with Barcelona, with Universitario de Deporteswhere he achieved a two-time championship.
In addition, Bustos has coached important clubs such as Barcelona SC in Ecuador, and had stints in Brazilian football with Santos and América Mineiro, although these experiences in Brazil were briefer. His last position was in Olympia of Paraguaywhich came out in July 2025.

His experience in Peru was also very positive and left good impressions in the local press. His great challenge in Millonarios will be to immediately remove the team from the bottom of the standings and get it going to recover the path it has lost until now.
