For the first time el Chuco came in 1970 as head coach of Chivas Guadalajara, because the actual coach Javier de la Torre was appointed to support Raúl Cárdenas to the supervisory staff of the national team in order to optimally prepare the national players for the football World Cup in 1970, which was held for the first time in their own country .
Jesús Ponce was in action for Chivas Guadalajara a second time in 1974, spanning all seasons, before he was entrusted with the role of head coach a third time when he led the team through the 1976/77 season and with seventh place the club's best placement in the period reached between 1973 and 1980; a period that went down in football history in Mexico as the Chivas flacas ( the lean years of Chivas ). Nevertheless, Ponce was demoted to assistant coach under Diego Mercado in the following season .
In the 1981/82 season Chuco Ponce came for the last time as head coach at Chivas Guadalajara when he supervised the team in the last eight games of the league round.
