In 2002, after Javier Aguirre resigned as Mexico's National Team coach, Hugo voiced his candidacy to coach the team, but members of Mexico's soccer federation saw Hugo as too inexperienced at the time (he had not won any sort of championship or had major success as a coach at that moment) and eventually hired former Argentine goalkeeper (member of Argentina's 1978 World Cup champion squad) and seasoned coach Ricardo LaVolpe as Aguirre's replacement. LaVolpe and Sánchez have been embroiled in a war of words since then, with Hugo expressing his obvious discontent of being shunned for the coaching job.
