Luis Manuel Díaz (born May 17, 1965 ) is a former Mexican football player on the position of striker , who now works as a coach .

Life

player

Díaz spent his professional career at Club Deportivo Guadalajara , for whose first team he played between 1983 and 1990 and with whom he won the championship title in the 1986/87 season .

He made his debut in the Mexican Primera División on November 30, 1983 in the away game Guadalajaras against the UNAM Pumas , which ended 1: 1.

Although Díaz actually acted as a striker, he completed most games as a defender in the 1987/88 season and scored only three goals in seven first division seasons. He achieved this all in the 1988/89 season , where he was successful in the home games against Necaxa (3: 2), Atlante (2: 1) and Santos Laguna (5: 2). Still, these three goals were not enough for a striker who had played 23 games that season. He played his last first division games in the 1989/90 season , in which he only made four appearances. His last first division game took place on February 18, 1990 against the UANL Tigres (2-1). He scored a goal at international level on April 8, 1984 in a game of the CONCACAF Champions' Cup at CD Águila , which was won 4-2.

Trainer

After his active sports career, Díaz began working as a trainer, where he initially worked in the youth division of his former club CD Guadalajara. At the beginning of 2006 he was promoted to assistant coach of the first men's team and initially worked as an assistant to Dutchman Hans Westerhof and then from José Manuel de la Torre , at whose side he won the championship title of Apertura 2006 , and Efraín Flores , whose assistant he was until the end of 2008 when Chivas owner Jorge Vergara delegated him to the US branch team CD Chivas USA , where Díaz also worked as an assistant coach in the first few months of 2009. In June 2009 he returned to Guadalajara to take over the Chivas farm team CD Tapatío playing in the second division and worked again as assistant coach of Chivas Guadalajara. With the dismissal of the previous head coach Francisco Ramírez Díaz was temporarily promoted to the new head coach in September 2009 and was in this role for the first time in the home game on the ninth game day of the Apertura 2009 against the Jaguares de Chiapas in use. Although the team acted successfully under his direction (the 1-0 win against the Jaguares on September 19 was followed by a 1: 1 at the Pumas on September 27 and another 1-0 victory against the Rayados de Monterrey on September 3. October 2009), he was removed from his post as head coach after just three games because the team allegedly suffered from indiscipline. Since then, his relationship with the club boss Vergara was shattered, so that Díaz left the club and hired in July 2010 with local rival Estudiantes Tecos , where he has since been responsible for the youth division as a sporting coordinator.

When the Estudiantes separated from their head coach Miguel Herrara in early September 2010, Alvaro Galindo became interim coach of the first team and Díaz his assistant.
