Calero, who played for more than a decade at Mexican side Pachuca, passed away in Mexico City hospital on Tuesday after complications following a stroke.

"Pachuca is deeply saddened to report that Miguel Angel Rodriguez Calero, a symbol of the club, died on Tuesday," the club said in a statement.

Calero won 51 caps for his country, making his debut against Nigeria in 1995 and playing his last game against Haiti in 2009.

The former shot-stopper also won four league titles and the regional Copa Sudamericana with Pachuca.

Colombian president Juan Manual Santos wrote on his Twitter account: "It hurts every Colombian what happened to Miguel Calero. Football is in mourning."
