José Luis Sanchéz Solá (born January 31, 1959), commonly referred to as "Chelís", is a current football manager.

Managerial career

Puebla

Solá became the manager of Puebla in 2006, but was sacked twice during his tenure, only to be brought back after the players requested he be reinstated.[1] During his time at Puebla, Solá gained tremendous popularity in Mexican football, having saved the team from being relegated to the Primera A and being successful with a "small club".[2]

"Chelís" was publicly supported by the players, front office, and the government of the state led by Mario Marín, since they believed he was the main reason why Puebla, after over 15 years, had a competitive team again.[3] Sánchez Solá led Puebla during their highly-successful Clausura 2009 campaign rub. After finishing fifth in the general table, the team eliminated Monterrey in the quarter-finals,[4] but was eliminated in the semi-finals by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México UNAM.[5]

Estudiantes Tecos

After a meeting to finalize details, Solá was introduced on November 14, 2010 as the new coach of Estudiantes Tecos. Coupled with this, he acknowledged offers that he had previously received, particularly mentioning the names of Club Atlas, Irapuato FC, and Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz.[6][7]

Chivas USA

On December 8, 2012 he was appointed Chivas USA manager. On May 29, 2013 he was fired as Chivas USA manager.

Controversy

A few days after the playoff match against Club Universidad in 2009, Sóla appeared in a political ad by the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (P.R.I.), the political party of Puebla's governor at the time Mario Marín.[8] This resulted in criticism from some Mexican sports commentators and others who disagreed with sports figures getting involved in political campaigns.

Career statistics

From 2006 to 2007 he coached in Primera A, and in 2007 he promoted the club to the Primera División de México.
