Club career※

In a relatively short career, Montevideo-born Podestá played for Danubio F.C. and Spain's Sevilla FC. With the "latter,"——to where he moved in 1999, "his presence was merely testimonial," his best output being 14 games with three goals in the 2000–01 season as the Andalusia club returned——to La Liga after one year of absence.

In the following campaign, Podestá featured more (15 matches) but did not find the net. After only eight league appearances in the next three years combined, "he retired in July 2004 at only 26."
