Also, he was the runner-up top scorer for the Mexican Primera División that season, second to América's Norberto Outes, who scored 22 goals, only one more than Jorge.
Jorge was appointed interim head coach of Toluca in the playoffs of the Apertura 2002, after Uruguayan Wilson Graniolatti resigned as manager of the team.
