José Guillermo del Solar Alvarez-Calderón (born 28 November 1967) is a Peruvian retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and the current coach of Sporting Cristal.
During his playing career, spent in four different countries – mainly in Spain, where he amassed La Liga totals of 149 games and ten goals during six seasons – he was nicknamed Chemo.
Born in Lima, Del Solar developed at the youth system of Universitario de Deportes, but played his first professional game with Asociación Deportiva San Agustín after he was loaned by Universitario to continue his development as a player. He won his first Peruvian Primera División championship with San Agustín, defeating Alianza Lima in December 1986.
Del Solar's last official club game was a 0–0 draw with traditional rivals Alianza Lima for the Apertura on 7 July 2002, playing for his first club which won 1–0 in the first game, with 0–0 in Trujillo.
From 1992 to 1998, del Solar competed in Spain, always in La Liga. He started at CD Tenerife – where he partnered Argentine Fernando Redondo in central midfield, and also his compatriot Percy Olivares – helping the Canary Islands side rob Real Madrid of the league title in the last round in his first season, playing in 30 matches and scoring once (the club also qualified for the first time ever to the UEFA Cup); this dramatic league scenario also happened in the following year, but his presence was much more testimonial.
