Club career
From a very early age on, Rodriguez showed great skill and talent. After being selected by C.D. Juventud Olimpica Metalio then Alianza F.C., he began a prolific football career, in the process becoming a legend in El Salvador, although not as highly rated as Magico Gonzalez.
A defender, Rodriguez played professionally for different clubs around the world. Among these were El Salvador's Alianza F.C., Mexico's Club Leon and F.C. Atlas, and Germany's Bayer Uerdingen (now known as KFC Uerdingen 05). He also played for teams in Japan's Yokohama Flugels, NKK F.C. and Finland's KPV scoring 4 goals in 18 games during 1984–1985.
International career
Nicknamed La Chelona, Rodriguez has represented his country in 15 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played in all three of his country's matches at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain.
His final international game was an April 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup qualification match against Nicaragua.
Managerial career
After retiring from football, Rodriguez started a coaching career at Alianza F.C., but was sacked in 2002. Since then, he has been a strong advocate for improvement in football organisations and programs in El Salvador. He has also been a strong supporter for financial aid to Salvadoran sporting heroes of the past who are in need.
Since 2009, he is President of the Salvadoran Institute of Sport (INDES) and was appointed coordinator of the Salvadoran national football team and in 2007 became the assistant coach of the Cuscatlecos.
Rodriguez has participated in a charity match to raise funds for earthquake victims in his native El Salvador.
In 2012, Rodriguez was named member of the football commission of FIFA.
