Hugo Sánchez Márquez (born July 11, 1958), popularly nicknamed Pentapichichi, or Hugol, is a Mexican footballcoach and former striker. He played for four European clubs, including Real Madrid. He was also a member of theMexico national team, and participated in three World Cups.

As a coach, he won two championships as head coach of the club Pumas de la UNAM and briefly with Club Necaxa, both teams in the Mexican Primera División. He also had a sixteen-month stint with the Mexican national team, but was fired on March 31, 2008.[2] Hugo Sanchez has signed up to start coaching again, now in Europe, for UD Almería [1]from the Spanish First Division starting December 29, in an attempt to save the team from descending to the 2nd Division by the Summer. He has succeeded in keeping UD Almería free from relegation from La Liga for the 2009–2010 season.

In 1999, the IFFHS voted him the 26th best footballer of the 20th century, and the best footballer from the CONCACAFregion.[3]


Interesting CV. I remember him from the 1986 World Cup. Talented but tempremental.


Edit: Does not hold a candle to Ernie Clucks though!
