Marco Antonio Ruíz García (born 12 July 1969) is a Mexican former professional footballer and current head coach.

[2] Although the club's fortunes soon entered a period of decline, Ruiz remained with Chivas for three more years until he rejoined Tigres in 2002.

A late bloomer on the world stage, Ruiz made his international debut at the age of 31 against Ecuador on 20 September 2000, in which he scored a goal.

[4] His international career coincided entirely with the coaching tenure of Enrique Meza, who preferred him at the position of left wingback.

[6] Meza came under intense pressure and was eventually dismissed in June 2001, and Ruiz was never capped again by any subsequent Mexico coaches.
