Career
Born in Nueva Helvecia, Troche began playing football with local side Nacional de Nueva Helvecia as a central defender. Later, he would play for Club Nacional de Football and C.A. Cerro.
Troche moved abroad to play for Club Atlético Huracán in 1963 and again for one season in the Bundesliga for Alemannia Aachen in 1967.
Troche played 28 times for the Uruguay national team between 1959 and 1966, and featured at the 1962 World Cup in Chile and at the 1966 World Cup in England.
