In 1970 he moved to Puebla FC , for which he not only worked for three years as a player, but also as a coach in two stages in the 1980s for a total of two years.

  2. According to the database at National Football Teams (see web links) he was under contract with Morelia until 1970, which is also confirmed by the international match statistics of the Mexican national team (games 169 to 173) stored at RSSSF . In contrast, Urbina worked for Unión de Curtidores in the 1969/70 season according to his profile at Weltfussball.de . Since a special tournament known as México 70 took place in Mexico before the 1970 World Cup , it is conceivable that Urbina was under contract with UC during this tournament or was loaned to this club.
