# Ricardo Pérez (Colombian footballer)

Ricardo "Gato" Pérez Tamayo (born 21 July 1973) is a retired Colombian footballer.
He was president of the América de Cali between 2018 and 2019, at which time the team was champion of the 2019 Torneo Finalización

## Club career

Pérez began his professional career with Millonarios, where he would spend most of his playing career. After a wonderful 1993 Copa Mustang (scoring 17 goals in 44 matches), he was bought by "giants" América de Cali for an undisclosed fee. After three years at América, he did not enjoy a lot of confidence from the coach, so he returned on loan to Millonarios. At Millonarios again, he scored 17 goals in 46 matches, being one of the tournament's best players in 1997.
