Club career[edit]

UNAM[edit]

As a teenager, Sánchez played for the Mexico national team at the1976 Summer Olympics.Having already played in over 80 international matches, Sánchez signed as a youth player at the age of 18 forPumas de la UNAM,a professional team representing Mexico'snational university,where he completed a degree inDentistrywhile playing for the first team.[12]Later that year, UNAM managed to win its first championship in the Primera División. Two years later, he became the league's top-scorer with 26 goals.

In 1979, UNAM agreed to exchange players during the off-season with theSan Diego Sockersof theNorth American Soccer League.He played in the NASL during the summer and in the Mexican league during the fall, winter and spring. UNAM loaned Sánchez to the Sockers in 1979 and 1980 where he became a prolific striker for the Sockers, averaging nearly a goal a game.[13]

It took him a while to find his feet inLa Liga,only managing twenty league appearances and scoring eight goals in his first season, but by the 1984–1985 season he was scoring regularly with a team that won theCopa del Rey,finished second in the league and won theSpanish Super Copa.That year, Sánchez won his firstPichichi trophyfor being the most prolific scorer in the league, scoring 26 goals.

Real Madrid[edit]

Sánchez in 1988

On 15 July 1985, Sánchez signed forLa LigaclubReal Madrid.[15]It was reported that due to Atlético Madrid's reluctance to anger their fan base with a direct deal with Real, Sánchez was transferred to UNAM back in his home country on 4 July before being signed by Real Madrid, with the contract signing taking place in a bank in Mexico City.[15]He was flown back to Spain and presented to 50,000 fans at theSantiago Bernabéu Stadiumon 19 July.[16]

He played alongside the famed group of players known as theLa Quinta del Buitre( "Vulture's Cohort" ), which consisted ofEmilio Butragueño,Manuel Sanchís,Martín Vázquez,Míchel,andMiguel Pardeza.[1]WithLos Blancos,Sánchez won five consecutive league titles from 1985 to 1990, a Copa del Rey title in 1989 and theUEFA Cupin 1986. During those five years, Sánchez won four-consecutive Pichichi trophies, becoming one of two players in Spanish football history to achieve this without sharing the trophy with any other player in any season (the other beingLionel Messiwith 5 consecutive Pichichi awards between 2017 and 2021), and one of four players to win fivePichichis(the others beingAlfredo Di Stéfano,Quiniand Messi (who has won 8), scoring 208 goals in 283 games in all competitions. He scored 27 or more goals in four consecutive seasons between 1986 and 1990, including 38 goals in the 1989–90 season, tying the single-season record set in 1951 byTelmo Zarraand earning theEuropean Golden Bootaward for the best scorer in Europe. Remarkably, all 38 of these goals were scored with only a single touch.[17]His 38-goal tally stood as a league record untilCristiano Ronaldosurpassed it after scoring 40 goals in the2010–11 season.[18]In European Cup competitions, Sánchez scored 47 goals in 45 matches.

International career[edit]

Sánchez made 58 appearances forMexicobetween 1977 and 1994, scoring 29 goals.[3]Prior to representing the senior side, as a teenager he represented Mexico at the1975 Pan American Gameson home soil, where he won a gold medal,[19]and at the1976 Summer Olympics.[4]He participated in threeFIFA World Cuptournaments, making eight World Cup appearances in total, and scoring once.[4]Also, with ChileanElías Figueroaholds the unique distinction of playing in three alternate tournaments1978-1986-1994.He helped Mexico win the1977 CONCACAF Championshipto seal qualification for the1978 FIFA World Cupin Argentina;[20]at the age of 19, he took part in the final tournament, where Mexico lost all three of their group games and suffered a first round elimination.[4]

After Mexico failed toqualify for the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain,Sánchez was a part of the Mexico team that reached the quarter-finals of the1986 World Cupon home soil, losing out to eventual runners-upWest Germanyin a penalty shootout.[21]He scored his only World Cup goal during his nation's opening match of the tournament on 3 June, the winning goal in a 2–1 victory overBelgium,[4][22]although he also missed a penalty in Mexico's second group match againstParaguay,and was later booked, causing him to miss the final group match.[4][23]Four years later, however, Mexico once again missed out on the final tournament as they were suspended from the1990 FIFA World Cupin Italy.[4]

Despite his advancing age, he later played a key role in helping Mexico to thefinalof the1993 Copa América,at the age of 35; he scored once in a 2–0 victory overEcuadorin the semi-finals, although Mexico eventually finished as runners-up toArgentina.[4][24]Sánchez later also appeared at the1994 FIFA World Cupin the United States, his final major tournament, where Mexico suffered a round of 16 elimination; he made his only appearance in the tournament on 19 June, in Mexico's opening match of the competition, a 1–0 defeat toNorway.[4]

Managerial career[edit]

Club[edit]

In March 2000, Sánchez became manager ofUNAM,who were struggling in the league, signing a two-year deal. Although the team went on to have a good campaign under his leadership, differences between the club president and Sánchez resulted in his sacking in August of that year.

After Jimenez Espriu resigned as the club president a year later, the new president, Luis Regueiro, appointed Sánchez as head coach in November 2001.

After building his team up for a number of years, by 2004 Sánchez' Pumas had won everything they played in: Clausura 2004, Apertura 2004, Champion of Champions 2004 and the Santiago Bernabéu Cup. He also became the only manager in history to lead a Mexican team to two consecutive championships in the Mexican Primera División in the "short tournament" format.

The success, however, was short lived. Pumas became the worst team of the tournament the following season and in Winter 2005 were having the worst year in its history.[citation needed]Sánchez decided to resign in November 2005.

Club Necaxa,another Mexican team, signed him as a head coach in 2006, and he also became the coach of theMexico national teamthat year following their participation at the2006 FIFA World Cup.

He became coach ofLa Liga'sAlmeríain early 2009, but after accomplishing the goal of avoiding relegation fromLa Liga,and despite on 2 June 2009 the Almeria chairmanAlfonso Garcíaannouncing the renewal of his contract,[25]he was released on 20 December 2009.

Mexico[edit]

After briefly managing Club Necaxa, Sánchez was named head coach of the Mexico national team, with the aim of leading Mexico through thequalification processfor the2010 World CupinSouth Africa.

During his coaching career especially, Sánchez became known for his volatile temperament and his willingness to speak candidly, often expressing strong emotions and opinions, a trait that engenders equally emotional and strong responses from those he criticizes. He had a long-standing feud with the previous Mexico coach,Ricardo La Volpe.

Sánchez's first match as Mexico coach was a 2–0 loss to theUnited Statesin Phoenix, Arizona in February 2007. Sánchez recorded his first victory againstVenezuela,a 3–1 win in front of 67,000 fans in San Diego. Hugo's first game in Mexico took place againstParaguayinMonterreyon 25 March 2007, which Mexico won 2–1. A few days later on 28 March 2007, Mexico defeatedEcuador4–2 in Oakland, California.

In June 2007, Sánchez coached Mexico in the2007 editionof theGold Cup,his first official competition. After struggling in the first stages of the tournament, México reached the final 24 June 2007 and lost 2–1 against the US.

On 27 June 2007, in the opening game of the2007 Copa Américaheld in Venezuela, Sánchez led the Mexico national team to a stunning 2–0 winBrazil,Hugo's first major victory as a coach. After easing through the group stage of the tournament, Hugo led the team to the semi-finals (beatingParaguay6–0 in the quarter-finals) where they were beaten 3–0 byArgentina.Mexico ended the tournament in third place by defeatingUruguay3–1.

In August 2007, Sánchez announced that Mexico would permanently, or at least in his time coaching the team, drop their famous green home kit, replacing it with their white away kit, meaning that their new away kit would be red. For this decision, Sánchez was subject of a lot of criticism. The two main arguments against him were that the decision was breaking a long-standing Mexican tradition, yet the strongest critics suggested that he should devote more time to the strategy and training of the Mexico team rather than entertaining himself with superfluous features of the sport.

In March 2008, Sánchez suffered poor results, including draws withAustraliaandFinland,[citation needed]and a loss at home inQuerétaroagainstEcuador's U-23 team. Disappointing results continued in the CONCACAF Olympic Qualification, a draw with Canada and a loss to Guatemala. His only victory was a 5–1 win against Haiti. Mexico were eliminated from the Pre-Olympic qualifying tournament on goal difference.

On 31 March 2008, Hugo Sánchez was fired from his post as Mexico head coach.[26]

Style of play[edit]

"When a player scores a goal like that, play should be suspended and a glass of champagne offered to the 80,000 fans that witnessed it."

—Leo Beenhakkerreferring to Sánchez’s overhead kick goal againstLogroñésin 1988.[27]

NicknamedHugolandPentapichichi,Sánchez was a prolific goalscorer, who usually played as acentre-forward;he is widely regarded as Mexico's greatest-ever footballer, and one of the greatest players of his generation.[1][4]A quick and mobilestriker,with good skills and an eye for goal, he was known for his intelligence, positional sense, movement, and anticipation in the area, and was an accurate and efficient finisher, who was capable of scoring with few touches.[1][4][17][28]

Due to his athleticism, Sánchez was good in the air, despite his diminutive stature, and was also known for his ability to score acrobatic and flamboyant goals from spectacular strikes and volleys from any position on the pitch, both inside or outside the area; his mastery of the "Chilena", or "Bicycle kick",was a result of his own early training in gymnastics, and his goals scored in this manner were later dubbedHuguinas.[1][4][29]His trademark was to perform a celebratory somersault followed by a fist pump after each goal he scored, in honour of his sister, who was a gymnast and participated in the Montreal Olympics.[4][30]Sánchez is considered to be the first noted exponent of thebackflip.[31]

According to his FIFA profile, Sánchez is credited as the creator of the scorpion kick, which was later popularised by Colombian goalkeeperRené Higuita.Though he regularly practised the trick in training, the Mexican striker never scored a goal with it in an official match.[4]

An accuratepenalty taker,Sánchez held the record for most penalties scored in La Liga with 56, untilCristiano Ronaldobroke the record in 2017 after scoring his 57th penalty-kick.[32]
