Many Colombian players started their careers in a great way, especially when they wore the tricolor jersey, whether in lower or higher divisions, as in the case of the former player who was called the Colombian Maradona for his great talent. The former footballer managed to attract the attention of his rivals for his great level with the tricolor jersey, mainly in a pre-Olympic tournament under-20 that was played in Paraguay .
The Colombian impressed all his rivals with his great talent and showed such a level that he signed with America de Cali and then after having discipline problems he joined Atlético Nacional. He is an old acquaintance like Jhon Édison Castaño who played the youth tournament in Paraguay in 1985 with the Colombia shirt and there he began to attract attention for his great level and made a jump to the scarlet team.
Jhon Edison Castaño went from being a star and a promise to a player with many difficulties because he suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury that sentenced his career at Atlético Nacional . The player saw his departure from the Verdolaga team to make a jump abroad with Racing de Avellaneda after not having met expectations at Atlético Nacional and it was in this country where he earned the nickname of Colombian Maradona because he met the star who praised him and earned respect in a football country that gave him the honor of calling him Maradona .
Castaño did not have a good career, considering that he had to retire prematurely due to an injury and, like many players who did not think that fate would change for them, he had to find a job after his return to Colombia as a receptionist. The former player was working as a receptionist in a technical-mechanical care center, according to El Tiempo, ending his career as a professional who came to be known as a star for having the nickname of the Colombian Maradona .
The Colombian reached such a high level that he was even on the radar of a Spanish club like Real Murcia, which would have gone down in history for making the jump to the old continent at that time, but finally it was America de Cali who put up the millions to sign him, according to Las 2 Orillas. The scarlet team at that time put up more than $15 million pesos to sign the great promise that was cut short by an injury and after not having his future defined due to the unexpected exit from the fields he had to dedicate himself to other jobs such as being a receptionist.
