Evaristo Cárdenas Martínez (* 1911 in Guadalajara , Jalisco ; † May 28, 1996 ibid) was a Mexican football player and later a football official.

career

During his active career, Cárdenas played for his hometown club Club Deportivo Guadalajara , with whom he won the Liga de Occidente three times in a row in 1928, 1929 and 1930 .

1956 Cárdenas was first president of CD Guadalajara and thus sat an immortal monument as he soon after taking office, the Uruguayan coach Donaldo Ross pledged that the team in the season 1956/57 to their first league title in the Mexican professional league lead . Despite this success, Cárdenas replaced the master coach at the end of the season with the Hungarian Árpád Fekete , who led Chivas to another title two years later and thus initiated the winning streak of the series champion at the time. With this lucky hand in choosing a coach and the associated success of the club, Cárdenas earned the nickname Chivaristo .

After his three-year term from 1956 to 1958, he held the office of President again between 1975 and 1977. His second term in office was far less successful and he later even had to be accused of having unnecessarily sold parts of the club's assets.
