Rolando Fonseca Jiménez (born 6 June 1974) is a retired Costa Rican footballer who played as a striker. Nicknamed ''El Principito'' (The little prince)〔''La Nación''. ("Nuevo Estadio Nacional: Joya del Deporte Costarricense" ), p. 30. 15 March 2011. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 and ''El Rolo'',〔Calvo, Rodrigo. ("Rolo llegó a los 20 títulos y superó los 360 goles" ). ''La Nación'', 7 January 2009. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 Fonseca usually plays just off the main striker and is renowned for his ability to create opportunities for his teammates and his fierce long shot.〔''World Soccer''. ("Rolando Fonseca World Cup Profile" ). ''CNNSI.com'', 12 March 2002. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 Fonseca is Costa Rica's national team all-time top goalscorer.〔 ==Club career== Fonseca played for Comunicaciones in Guatemala, Independiente Medellín and América de Cali in Colombia, Pachuca and Pachuca in Mexico, as well as having home spells with Saprissa, Alajuelense and Municipal Liberia. In Costa Rica, he played a total of 271 games, scoring over 100 goals, between the league's two best teams, Saprissa and Alajuelense. His debut was with Deportivo Saprissa, on 1 June 1991, against ASODELI, and scored his first goal against San Carlos on 28 August.〔Calvo, Rodrigo. ("El Buzón de Rodrigo" ). ''La Nación'', 16 April 2001. Retrieved on 26 May 2001.〕 He also won Costa Rican championships in 1993–94, 1994–95 (Saprissa), and 1996–97, 2001–02, 2002–03 and 2004–05 (Alajuelense), adding three CONCACAF Champions' Cups in 1993, 1995 (Saprissa), and 2004 (Alajuelense).〔Rodríguez, José Luis. ("Rolando Fonseca ya tiene 22 títulos" ). ''La Nación'', 21 December 2010. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 Outside Costa Rica, Fonseca won league titles with Comunicaciones in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2008, and 2010, and with América de Cali in 1997.〔 After solid performances with Alajuelense and the national team, Fonseca received offers in 2007 from China, Chile, Turkey and Major League Soccer, but finally settled, as co-owner, player and captain of Municipal Liberia.〔Rivera, Arnoldo. ("Rolando Fonseca confirma su incorporación a Liberia" ). ''La Nación'', 26 June 2007. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 Although he was having a great season, he left the project a few days before finishing the ''Apertura'' tournament, apparently due to personal issues and some differences with then co-owner Mario Sotela.〔Morales, Ingrid. ("Rolando Fonseca fuera de Liberia Mía" ). ''La Nación'', 21 November 2007. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 Rumors surfaced that Fonseca would return to Alajuelense, but they were all quickly discarded. After failed negotiations with Brujas, Fonseca returned to Comunicaciones, a team he had already represented on two other spells, remaining as one of side's best imports ever. Fonseca retired in January 2011, but a year and seven months later, he made his return to professional football by joining Asociación Deportiva Carmelita on 19 August 2012.〔Aguilar Arroyo, Yensy. ("Rolando Fonseca entrenará mañana con Carmelita" ). ''Al Día'', 19 August 2012. Retrieved on 26 May 2013.〕 After three matches with Carmelita, he was released in September 2012. Coach Orlando de León cited that Fonseca has been busy with his other activities besides football.〔Umaña, Johan. ("Carmelita evalúa dar de baja a Rolando Fonseca" ). ''La Nación", 24 September 2012.
