Managerial history

Toluca FC, based in Toluca, State of Mexico, is a professional association football team that competes in the Liga MX, Mexico's top division.[1] The club is one of the most successful in Mexico, having won twelve league titles and three international titles in CONCACAF Champions Cup.[2] Toluca has never been relegated from Liga MX.[3]

This list comprises all managers of the club's first team from 1950, when Toluca entered professional football in the Segunda División, Mexico's second-tier division.[4] Under Spanish coach Tomás Fábregas, the club earned promotion to the Primera División in 1953.[5] Toluca won its first official title with the 1955–56 Copa México under Fernando Marcos González.[6][7] Their first league title came in the 1966–67 season under Ignacio Trelles,[8] who also led the club to the 1967 Campeón de Campeones super cup, the 1967–68 league title, the 1968 Campeón de Campeones super cup, and the 1968 CONCACAF Champions' Cup, Toluca's first international tournament.[9] Toluca won its third league title in the 1974–75 season under Uruguayan manager Ricardo de León,[10] about a year after Trelles had departed.[4]

Throughout the 1980s, Toluca struggled in the league, frequently finishing in the bottom half of the table.[11][12] Under Mexican coach Héctor Sanabria, the club claimed the 1988–89 Copa México,[13] ending a 14-year wait for a title, though a league championship remained out of reach.[11][14]

Toluca had over two decades without a league title until the arrival of Mexican coach Enrique Meza,[15] who helped them secure their fourth title in the Verano 1998 season.[15] Meza led Toluca to two more titles in the Verano 1999 and Verano 2000 seasons.[16] In the Apertura 2002 season, Ricardo La Volpe led the team through most of the tournament before departing to take charge of the Mexico national football team. Wilson Graniolatti briefly succeeded him before being replaced by Argentine coach Alberto Jorge, who led Toluca to the title in his first four matches.[17]

Brazilian coach Ricardo Ferretti led Toluca to their second international title with the 2003 CONCACAF Champions' Cup,[18] followed by the 2003 Campeón de Campeones super cup.[19] Argentine coach Américo Gallego then guided the club to the Apertura 2005 title and the 2006 Campeón de Campeones,[20] before Mexican coach José Manuel de la Torre secured further championships in the Apertura 2008 and Bicentenario 2010 tournaments.[21][22]

After a period of approximately 15 years without a league title,[23] Argentine coach Antonio Mohamed was appointed and led Toluca to back-to-back championships in the Clausura 2025 and Apertura 2025,[24] along with the 2025 Campeón de Campeones.[25] Mohamed also guided the club to the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup,[25] a title that earned Toluca qualification to the 2026 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup,[26] both for the first time in the club's history.[25]
