Editing Hugo Sánchez (section)

===Club===
In March 2000, Sánchez became manager of [[Club Universidad Nacional|UNAM]], 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|date=September 2020}} 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 the [[Mexico national football team|Mexico national team]] that year following their participation at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]].
