Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Family name hatnote Шаблон:Infobox football biography Francisco Avilán Cruz (27 August 1947 – 5 February 2021) was a Mexican footballer and football manager.
Early life
Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Avilán's father was an amateur footballer and his brother, Arnulfo, played for Monterrey.[1] His other brother, Pedro, played in the Mexican second division.[1]
He followed in the footsteps of his brother Arnulfo when he joined Monterrey in 1958.[1]
Club career
Avilán was handed his first team debut by Uruguayan manager Roberto Scarone in 1964 against Club Deportivo Nacional, helping Monterrey to a 2–0 win.[1] He remained with Monterrey until 1970, when he had a short stint with Atlas, before returning to Monterrey.[1] He signed with Guadalajara before retiring in 1974.[1]
International career
He was called up to the Mexico national football team on several occasions, making two appearances between 1971 and 1972.[2] In doing so, he became the first Monterrey player to represent Mexico.[1]
Managerial career
Avilán returned to Monterrey at the end of the 1970s, initially managing the youth sector, which included future Mexican internationals Francisco Javier Cruz, Héctor Becerra and Missael Espinoza.[1]
After studying football management in Yugoslavia, Avilán was named manager of Monterrey in 1984.[1] With signings such as Guillermo Muñoz, he led Monterrey to the México 86 title, the first in the club's history.[1]
While serving as manager of the Mexico national under-20 football team, it was found Mexico had knowingly fielded four overage players at the 1988 CONCACAF U-20 Tournament. The scandal, known as Cachirules, saw several Mexican officials banned from football for life; however, Avilán himself received no sanction, and said that if he had known these players were overaged, he would not have selected them.[3][4]
Avilán returned to management in 2008, when he was named manager of Jaguares de Chiapas on an interim basis.[3]
Death
Avilán died in February 2021, following a bout of COVID-19.[3][5][6]
