Jaime Iván Kaviedes Llorenty (Greek: Ιβάν Καβιέδες; born 24 October 1977) is an Ecuadorian former professional footballer who played as a forward.
This led to a move to Perugia in the Italian Serie A in January 1999 for a transfer fee of 4 million USD (or 6 billion lire at the time).
He only stayed there 5 months moving to Celta in the summer of 1999 and ever since then he journeyed around the world playing for a number of clubs in Europe, Mexico, and South America, even returning to his homeland.
He arrived at the club for a reported fee of reputedly £2 million, though there was confusion over whether he was signed on loan or on a full transfer.
[2] After the 2006 FIFA World Cup he transferred from Argentinos Juniors in Argentina for El Nacional in his homeland, 2006 Ecuadorian League Champions.
Due to his rise in worldwide prominence in the late 1990s,[citation needed] Kaviedes was given his Ecuador national team debut in a 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Brazil in 1998.
He scored a goal with a bicycle kick with his back turned against FC Barcelona while playing for Real Valladolid.
