Christian Patiño Gómez (born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa; August 16, 1975) is a Mexican former footballer and current manager.[1]

During his career as a footballer he played as a goalkeeper, starting his career in 1995 with the Mexican team América. Between 1998 and 2001, he was loaned to the clubs Unión de Curtidores, León and La Piedad.[1]

In 2001, he became the starting goalkeeper for América, scoring a goal in the final match of the Verano 2022 Tournament where his team defeated Necaxa.[2] In March 2003, Patiño played two matches with the Mexico national football team, being part of the Mexican national team in the games against Bolivia and Paraguay, scoring a goal in the second match.[3]

In 2004, he left América when he was transferred to San Luis, where he only stayed for six months.[1] Between 2004 and 2007 he played for Dorados de Sinaloa.[4]

Finally, in 2007 he went on to play with Querétaro, where he also played a few games for Celaya which functioned as the reserve team of the Querétaro club. At the end of 2007, he retired from professional football.[1] After retiring, he established a project to support hispanic migrants in Philadelphia, focusing on football as a development tool for that community.[4]
