Club career edit

San Esteban began his professional playing career in 1992 with Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, he made his league debut on 23 February 1992 in a 2–1 away defeat against Deportivo Español. He went on to make over 300 appearances for the club during his first spell. He joined Nueva Chicago for the 2003–04 season but returned to Gimnasia for a second spell between 2004 and 2009.

In the 2006–07 season, San Esteban was criticized by the press[citation needed] as Gimnasia went through a string of defeats to local teams (7-0 to Estudiantes de La Plata, 5–1 to Boca Juniors) and in international competition (three goals or more per match against Colo Colo, Defensor Sporting Club, and Santos).

In the 2009 winter transfer window he joined Villa San Carlos of Primera B Metropolitana.

International career edit

He played for the Argentina national football team in a friendly against Mexico in 1999.[1]
