Career
editHis last club at professional level was Fernández Vial in 2023.[1][2]
As a player of Cal South State Cup club SC MesoAmerica, Muñoz started with them on 20 March 2024 in a first-round match of the 2024 U.S. Open Cup against Irvine Zeta FC, which ended in a 0–1 loss.[3][4][5] In doing so at the age of 42 years and 4 months, he became the oldest ever player in the history of the competition, breaking the previous record set by Marcus Hahnemann in 2014.[citation needed]
He received retirement funds by SIFUP, the trade union of professional footballers in Chile, at the end of 2024.[2]
Muñoz rejoined Fernández Vial in January 2025.[6] After the club did not compete at the Tercera A, he moved to Liga Dominicana club Atlántico alongside his compatriots Diego López and Mauricio Arias.[7]
