He won his first Peruvian championship with San Agustín, defeating Alianza Lima in December 1986.

His last official club game was a 0-0 draw with traditional rivals Alianza Lima for the Apertura championship on July 7, 2002, playing for his first team, Universitario de Deportes, which won 1-0 in the first game, with 0-0 in Trujillo. He also had overseas stints in Spain (six seasons), Turkey (two) and Belgium.

As a manager, he began his career with Colón de Santa Fe, aided by Juan Antonio Pizzi, without luck. Then, he was named coach of Sporting Cristal and won the Primera División Peruana in 2005. Afterwards, Del Solar was named coach of Universidad Católica of Chile, finishing second behind Colo Colo in Apertura 2007.
