Football career
Born in Córdoba, Córdoba Province, Toedtli began playing football with Club Atlético Douglas Haig and Club Cipolletti, reaching the Primera División in 1998 with Club Atlético Huracán. After a sole season in Portugal with C.S. Marítimo he moved to Spain where he would remain for an entire decade, starting with UD Salamanca where he scored 16 goals in the 2000–01 campaign – fourth-best in the second level – for a final ninth place.
Toedtli's only La Liga experience came with Sevilla FC: during his two years with the team he was almost always a backup, but he did net twice in a 3–0 away win against FC Barcelona on 15 December 2002, as the side went on to finish in tenth position.
Toedtli then had a brief passage at Recreativo de Huelva, playing the next four years with Polideportivo Ejido also in Andalusia, where he was an essential offensive unit as the club constantly managed to avoid relegation, until it befell in his last season. After that he moved down to division three but stayed in the region, helping Cádiz CF promote in 2009.
Toedtli scored five goals in 29 games in 2009–10, but Cádiz was immediately relegated back. He retired in July 2010 at the age of 34, having appeared in 243 games in the Spanish second division (60 goals).
