Jorge Eduardo Ramírez Tabacchi (born September 7, 1975) is a Peruvian former footballer who played as forward.
Playing career
Club career
A rising star of Peruvian football, Jorge Ramírez (nicknamed Loverita) made his debut for Alianza Lima in 1993. He scored 15 goals between 1995 and 1996 but then suffered a long career slump. He would never score again for Alianza Lima, a club he nevertheless returned to in 1998. In the interim, he played abroad for Tampico Madero (Mexico) in 1997 and then for Skoda Xanthi (Greece) the following year.
Back in Peru, after some less-than-successful spells at Sporting Cristal, Unión Minas, and Alianza Atlético between 1997 and 2000, he returned to prominence with Deportivo Wanka, where he became the top scorer in the 2001 Peruvian league with 21 goals.[2]
He moved abroad for a third time, this time to Tunisia with Espérance Sportive de Tunis (champions in 2002).[3] Quickly returning to Peru, he joined Coronel Bolognesi between 2002 and 2004, where he had the opportunity to play under Jorge Sampaoli.[4]
After a stint in 2005 with Sporting Cristal, he had his fourth experience abroad when he signed with Olympiakos Nicosia (Cyprus) in 2006. He finished his career in Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Islanders in 2007, and seven years later, with Isabela SC, where he definitively ended his playing career).
International career
Jorge Ramírez participated with the Peruvian Olympic team in the 1996 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament. Having become an international player, he had three caps (no goals scored) for the Peruvian national team between 1996 and 2001.[1]
Personal life
After retiring from professional football, Ramírez worked as a youth manager in Puerto Rico.[5]
