Who is Carlos Turrubiates?

Carlos Turrubiates Pérez is a retired Mexican professional footballer who played for Club León, Chivas de Guadalajara and Atlante.

A central defender, Turrubiates began his career with León during the 1990–91 season. In the following year, he scored the goal in extra time that won the championship for León against Puebla. He scored three times in the 1992–93 season and then moved to Guadalajara, where he played three years before returning to León. Turrubiates again reached the final with León during the Invierno 1997 campaign, only to lose in extra time on this occasion to Cruz Azul on a penalty from Carlos Hermosillo. Moving to Atlante in 1998, Turrubiates came back for a third stint at León in 1999 and played his final top-division season in 2000.

Turrubiates also earned 7 caps for the Mexican national team. His first international appearance came on 29 June 1993 in an exhibition match against Costa Rica, a 2–0 win in which Mexico fielded a large number of untried players because the starters were at the 1993 Copa América. Turrubiates himself was on the Copa América roster, but did not play.
