His mother was from the town of Guernica and his father was from Ispaster, and they migrated to Mexico in 1950. He qualified for a Spanish passport, which aided his career due to its strength compared to the Mexican one. He gave his three sons Basque names: Iker, Ander and Iñaki.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

Aguirre started his career at the youth academy of Club América. In 1979, he made his professional debut. A year later, he joined Los Angeles Aztecs of the North American Soccer League. Club América brought him back after one season. Aguirre played an important role during the title winning 1983–84 season managing to score a goal in the final against arch-rivals Guadalajara. After leaving Club América in 1984, he spent two seasons at Atlante and later joined Spanish club Osasuna. Aguirre returned to México in 1987, and joined Guadalajara, where he made over 100 appearances up until his retirement in 1993.

International

Aguirre made 59 appearances for the Mexico national team between 1983 and 1992, scoring 13 goals.[2] He played in the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 1986, and was sent off in the quarter-final defeat to West Germany; the game went to penalties after a 0–0 draw.[3] He was the first Mexican to be sent off at a World Cup.[4]

Managerial career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

After his retirement, Aguirre took up managing, first at Atlante and then Pachuca, where he won his first title as manager, the Invierno 1999 championship.

First spell with Mexico

[edit]

On 22 June 2001, Aguirre became the manager of the Mexico national team; the team were fifth in their qualifying group for the 2002 FIFA World Cup after losing 3–1 away to Honduras, in a run of one win in 12 games.[5] In his first game on 1 July, El Tri beat rivals the United States at home with a single Jared Borgetti goal.[6] Mexico qualified in second place behind Costa Rica after a 3–0 win at the Estadio Azteca against the Hondurans on 11 November.[7]

In July 2001, Aguirre led Mexico at the 2001 Copa América in Colombia. They defeated Brazil, Chile and Uruguay before losing the final by a single goal to the hosts.[8] A year later at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, his side won their group at Italy's expense before losing 2–0 to the US in the Round of 16.[9]

Osasuna

[edit]

On 6 June 2002, while leading Mexico at the World Cup, Aguirre joined Spanish La Liga club CA Osasuna when Miguel Ángel Lotina quit for RC Celta de Vigo; he had previously played for the Navarrese club.[10] In his first season in Pamplona, the club reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, losing 4–2 on aggregate to Recreativo de Huelva.[11]

In 2004–05, Aguirre went one better, guiding Osasuna to the cup final, where they lost 2–1 after extra time to Real Betis.[12] In the following league season, the Rojillos beat Sevilla FC to a joint-best 4th place and their first qualification to the UEFA Champions League, having led the table after 11 games.[13]

Atlético Madrid

[edit]

On 24 May 2006, days after Osasuna finished the season in fourth, Aguirre signed a one-year contract to replace Pepe Murcia at Atlético Madrid.[14] After a fourth-place finish in 2008 confirmed a place in the Champions League, he extended his deal by another year.[15]

Aguirre was dismissed from the Vicente Calderón Stadium on 2 February 2009, after a run of two points from five games. He was replaced by the team's former goalkeeper Abel Resino, who arrived from CD Castellón.[16]

Second spell with Mexico

[edit]

On 3 April 2009, Aguirre was officially appointed as the new manager of the Mexico national team, replacing Sven-Göran Eriksson. He was officially presented as Mexico manager in a press conference on 16 April 2009. At the press conference, he stated: "I add, gentlemen, that I want the player who comes, come with pride, to recover the identity that comes with our love for the shirt" and that a call-up "is a reward and not a punishment, that we're all here because it is a prize for our careers." His annual salary was reported to be US$1,635,000.[17]

On 6 June 2009, Aguirre debuted in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against El Salvador, losing 2–1. However, he rebounded four days later with a 2–1 win over Trinidad and Tobago.

On 9 July 2009, Aguirre was ejected in an incident during the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup match versus Panama. During a play along the sideline, Aguirre kicked Panamanian player Ricardo Phillips, triggering Phillips to push Aguirre, causing ejections for both Aguirre and Phillips and delaying the match for over 10 minutes due to the refusal of the player from Panama to leave the field.[18] Aguirre apologized to the Mexican fans, media, football players and staff, but never extended such courtesy to Philips or the Panamanian team. He was suspended for three games and the Mexican Football Federation was fined US$25,000 by CONCACAF.[19]

On 26 July 2009, Aguirre led Mexico to its fifth Gold Cup title and its first win against the United States outside of Mexico since 1999.[20] He then led Mexico to a comeback win over the same opposition at the Estadio Azteca on 12 August 2009 and followed it up by winning 3–0 in Costa Rica, putting Mexico closer to a qualifying spot for the World Cup that seemed to be an impossible task at the time when Eriksson was sacked. On 10 October 2009, Mexico beat El Salvador in the Estadio Azteca 4–1, qualifying Mexico for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

After that, in their last hexagonal game against Trinidad and Tobago, they tied 2–2, ending the World Cup qualifying journey.

On 30 June 2010, Aguirre resigned as coach of Mexico following their failure to reach the quarter-finals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Mexico finished second in Group A, ahead of hosts South Africa and France, but their progress was halted in the round of 16 where they were defeated 3–1 by Argentina.[21]

Aguirre's decision-making during the qualifying stages and during the World Cup garnered criticism, with ESPN broadcaster José Ramón Fernández calling him the worst coach at the World Cup after France's Raymond Domenech.[22] His insistence on playing team-less striker Guillermo Franco, while keeping Manchester United striker Javier Hernández on the bench bewildered many fans and commentators.[23] Aguirre came under additional criticism for his refusal to explain his decisions.[24]

During the run up to the World Cup Aguirre expressed his desire to coach in the Premier League in England, but did not receive any offers.[25]

Real Zaragoza

[edit]

Aguirre was named manager of Real Zaragoza on 17 November 2010, he was presented in a press conference the following day.[26] He was sacked on 29 December 2011 for putting the team in the relegation zone, the club owner quoted that the team has never done so bad in their club history.[27]

Espanyol

[edit]

On 28 November 2012, Aguirre was named manager of RCD Espanyol, at that point 20th in the La Liga table. He kept them up in the 2013–14 season by three points. Aguirre announced he was leaving Espanyol on 16 May 2014,[28] and was replaced 11 days later by former player Sergio.[29]

Japan

[edit]

In August 2014, Aguirre was named as new manager of the Japan national team, replacing Alberto Zaccheroni, who had resigned following the World Cup.[30] At the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, Japan won all three of its group matches, scoring seven goals and conceding none, though was knocked out in the quarter-final by the United Arab Emirates.

On 3 February 2015, the Japanese Football Association announced they had annulled the contract with Aguirre, after they confirmed that Spanish anti-corruption investigators had indicted Aguirre, who they alleged was involved in an ongoing match-fixing investigation over Real Zaragoza's 2–1 win over Levante on the final day of the 2010–11 season, while Aguirre was manager of Zaragoza.[31]

Al Wahda

[edit]

On 18 June 2015, Aguirre was hired as new manager of the Al-Wahda FC from United Arab Emirates.[32] On 21 May 2017, after leading Al Wahda to the President's Cup championship victory, Aguirre decided to step down as manager.[33]

Egypt

[edit]

In July 2018, Aguirre was on a four-man shortlist for the vacant Egyptian national team manager job.[34] He was appointed manager in August 2018.[35] During the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which was hosted in Egypt, the national team was eliminated by South Africa in the Round of 16. As a result, Aguirre was sacked along with the whole technical and administrative staff of the national team for the disappointing result.[36][37]

Leganés

[edit]

In November 2019, Aguirre returned to La Liga, taking over a CD Leganés team after the dismissal of Mauricio Pellegrino. He signed to the end of the season, with the option of another.[38] The team were relegated on the final day of the season in July 2020,[39] and he left.[40]

Monterrey

[edit]

In December 2020, Aguirre returned to Liga MX for the first time since 2001, signing a two-year deal at Monterrey.[41] On 26 February 2022, he was dismissed from his position after a run of disappointing results.[42]

Mallorca

[edit]

On 24 March 2022, Aguirre returned to La Liga, joining RCD Mallorca, who were one point inside the relegation zone with nine games to go.[43] He kept the team up on the final day at the expense of Granada CF, by winning away at his former club Osasuna.[44]

Nineteen years after reaching the final with Atlético Madrid, Aguirre led Mallorca to the 2024 Copa del Rey final, where they lost on penalties to Athletic Bilbao after a 1–1 draw at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville.[45] On 22 May 2024, Aguirre and Mallorca parted ways.[46]

Third spell with Mexico

[edit]

On 22 July 2024, the Mexican Football Federation announced Aguirre as the new manager of the national team.[47]

In November 2024, Aguirre was hit by a beer can, leaving him bloodied after his team’s 2-0 loss to Honduras in the Nations League quarter-final. Despite the injury, Aguirre downplayed the incident, focusing on congratulating the victors. The Mexican Football Federation condemned the attack, urging CONCACAF to act, while CONCACAF promised an investigation. Rueda also expressed disappointment over the violence.[48] The incident was also condemned by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, calling it "horrible" and called for an investigation of the incident.[49]
