Ignacio Trelles
Ignacio Trelles Campos (31 July 1916 – 24 March 2020) was a Mexican football player and manager.
Trelles was one of the dominant figures in Mexican football in the 20th century. Over a managerial career that spanned more than four decades, he coached nine clubs in the Primera División and won seven league titles, including back-to-back championships with Toluca and Cruz Azul. Trelles also served as manager of the Mexico national team at the 1962 FIFA World Cup, where the side achieved its first victory in the competition, and again at the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Alongside Ricardo Ferretti, he is the manager with the most league titles in Mexican football. He managed 1,083 matches in Primera Division, the second-highest total of any coach in the league's history. He also holds the record for the most matches managed as coach of the national team.
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.
In 1934, Trelles made his debut in Mexico’s Liga Mayor with Necaxa. With Los Rayos, he enjoyed a golden era, winning three league titles in the 1934–35, 1936–37, and 1937–38 seasons, as well as lifting the Copa México in 1934–35.
After his brilliant spell with Necaxa, Trelles joined Club América in 1943. Later, he was transferred to Monterrey. A true pioneer, he became one of the first Mexican footballers to try his luck in the United States. At that time, Major League Soccer did not yet exist, but small regional competitions were beginning to emerge, such as the National Soccer League in Chicago. In 1948, Trelles played for the Chicago Vikings.
His career, however, was cut short that same year due to a severe tibia and fibula injury. He retired from professional football wearing the jersey of Atlante in 1948.
In 1950, Zacatepec gave Trelles his first big break. With the Cañeros, he began a remarkable journey, leading the team to a championship in 1951 and securing their long-awaited promotion to Mexico’s top division.
