In summertime, Manuel Silos in his 4th year as Dean of the University of Nuevo Leon appointed sports agent Guillermo Lara as new club President in a desperate effort to rescue the team from its first relegation ever.
Thanks to Lara, two times (1991-92 and 1993-94) league Champion manager Victor Manuel Vucetich was appointed as new head coach after being discarded by Silos in 1993.
[1] Also, Lara reinforced the squad with several transfers in: Goalkeepers Robert Dante Siboldi (Puebla) and Miguel de Jesús Fuentes (Atlas), Defenders Alfredo Murguía (León), Marcos Ayala (Toluca), Arnulfo Tinoco (Toluca) and Francisco Gómez (Morelia), Midfielders Omar Arellano (Chivas) and José Manuel “Chepo” De la Torre (Chivas) and Argentine Forward Martin Felix Ubaldi (Atlas).
