Ignacio Trelles Campos (31 July 1916 – 24 March 2020) was a Mexican football player and manager. As a player with Club Necaxa, they won three Mexican championships. Later he coached amongst others the Mexico national team.
A seasoned and decorated manager, Trelles managed 1083 club matches, with 463 wins, 319 draws and 301 losses.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". He took Cruz Azul to consecutive México Primera División (Mexico First Division) championships, 1979 and 1980; a feat the team has yet to repeat.[1]
Early life
Trelles was born in Guadalajara. As a child, he was very athletic, engaging in many different sports. In his teenage years, Trelles's family relocated to San Miguel Chapultepec where he regularly played football in the streets.[2]
Club career
Trelles made his senior debut with Club Necaxa in 1934. The club won the Mexican Primera División three times, in 1934–35, 1936–37 and 1937–38 and the Copa MX once, in 1934–35.[3][4]
In 1943, after nine years at Necaxa, Trelles joined the ranks of Club América and played with the Las Águilas (The Eagles) for three years before moving to C.F. Monterrey in 1946. In 1948 he played in the United States with the Chicago Vikings.[3][4] He retired from playing in February 1948 with Atlante F.C., having suffered a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg.[2][3][4]
Coaching career
He had seven tenures as coach of the Mexico national football team in 106 international matches[5] and was in charge of the Mexico squads at two FIFA World Cup tournaments: 1962[6] and 1966. He guided Mexico to their first win in a FIFA World Cup when they defeated Czechoslovakia 3–1 in the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile. At the 1962 FIFA World Cup, Mexico finished eleventh, which was their best ranking in a World Cup outside home soil until 2002 where they also ranked eleventh.
Later life
Trelles turned 100 in July 2016.[7] He died of a heart attack on 24 March 2020 at the age of 103, in Mexico City.[8][9]
