Career
Born in Nueva Helvecia,[1] Troche began playing football with local side Nacional de Nueva Helvecia as a central defender. Later, he would play for Club Nacional de Football and C.A. Cerro.[2]
Troche moved abroad to play for Club Atlético Huracán in 1963[3] and again for one season in the Bundesliga for Alemannia Aachen in 1967.
Troche played 28 times for the Uruguayan national team between 1959 and 1966,[4] and featured at the 1962 World Cup in Chile and at the 1966 World Cup in England.[5] Troche became noted when he, during the quarter final match against West Germany, got into a brawl with Uwe Seeler and boxed him on the ear.

After he retired from playing, Troche became a manager leading Mexican Primera División sides C.D. Guadalajara and Club de Fútbol Laguna.[1]
