Óscar Montalvo Finetti (20 March 1937 – November 2006) was a Peruvian football player, who played as a midfielder or as a winger. He died in November 2006, at the age of 69.

Career

Montalvo spent much of his career with Deportivo Municipal. He was one of the Deportivo players who participated together with a group of players from Sport Boys in the so-called Tour of Four Continents in 1960. He also played for Ciclista Lima.

In 1962, Montalvo was signed by the Spanish club Deportivo de La Coruña, for whom he played between 1962 and 1967. He them moved to Real Oviedo for a season until his retirement in 1968.

Montalvo made 7 appearances for the Peru national football team from 1959 to 1962. He was a member of the team which defeated England 4–1 in 1959, considered one of the best Peruvian performances ever, and played for Peru in the 1959 South American Championship in Argentina. In his final international match, another friendly against England, he had a penalty saved by English goalkeeper Ron Springett. Because of the policy of the Peruvian Football Federation of only selecting domestic players for the national team, Montalvo's move to Spain effectively ended his international career.

Retirement

After retiring as a player he returned to Peru and worked as a youth coach. One of the most famous players he developed was Jefferson Farfán. In 1988, he briefly managed the Peruvian club Sporting Cristal.
