Diego Gonzalo Chaves de Miquelerena (born 14 February 1986) is an Uruguayan former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay,[1] Chaves began his career with Montevideo Wanderers. There he played a total of 93 games in which he scored 27 goals.[2] In July 2009, he received an offer from Querétaro FC and moved to Mexico.[3] With Querétaro he appeared in 15 games and scored 4 goals.
Diego scored his first two goals for Querétaro while playing against Jaguares, with a final score of 2–2. His third goal was against Monterrey, but the team lost the game 3 to 1. In December 2009 he was transferred to Veracruz, a club that was looking to return to the maximum division in Mexico. He returned to Uruguay with Nacional in 2010.
In February 2011, Chaves signed with Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.[4] He made his debut, and scored his first goal for his new club, 19 March 2011 in Chicago's 1–1 tie with FC Dallas on the opening day of the 2011 MLS season.[5] Chaves went on to score in each of his next two matches, a 3–2 win vs. Sporting Kansas City 26 March 2011 and a 2–1 loss at Seattle Sounders F.C. 9 April 2011 to become the first player in club history to record goals in each of his first three league appearances for the team. Chaves would finish the 2011 campaign with seven goals and three assists across all competitions, helping the team to its first appearance in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final since 2006 where they eventually fell 2–0 at Seattle.
