Career
[edit]González played for the Colombia national football team in the 2001 Copa América, which they hosted and won. He also won four Colombian League titles with América de Cali in 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2008.
González has played for various Colombian teams and other international teams from Turkey and Argentina. He played for América de Cali, Deportivo Pereira, Centauros in Colombia, Club Atlético River Plate in Argentina and Galatasaray in Turkey.

Coaching career
[edit]González started his coaching career in 2013, when he became manager of Boyacá Chicó's U20 squad.[3]
From 2014 to 2017, González was the manager of América de Cali's U20 squad.[4] Through a video broadcast by América de Cali on its official YouTube channel, it was learned that Jersson González was appointed as the new manager of the women's team for the 2018 season.[5]
On 20 August 2018, he was appointed caretaker manager for the first team of América de Cali.[6] He was in charge for one game against Millonarios which he lost 0-2 and was replaced a few days later by a newly appointed manager. After Fernando Castro Lozada was fired on 15 April 2019, González was once again appointed caretaker manager, this time until the end of the season.[7] He was recalled by América de Cali as caretaker on 28 April 2021, replacing Juan Cruz Real for the return leg of the quarter-finals of the 2021 Apertura tournament against Millonarios and four Copa Libertadores group stage games.[8]
Following the end of América's involvement at the Copa Libertadores, he returned to the club's youth ranks, resigning on 2 April 2022 to become manager of Llaneros in the Colombian second division for his first professional manager job.[9][10] González managed Llaneros until the end of the 2023 season, and on 16 November 2023 he was announced as manager of top tier club Deportivo Pasto for the 2024 season.[11] He was dismissed from the position on 25 February 2024, after a poor start to the season that saw Pasto collect only four points in their first eight league matches.[12]
