Antonio López Herranz

Born in Madrid, López Herranz spent two seasons with local Real Madrid, appearing in only three games in La Liga during his spell and scoring in a 3–3 home draw against Sevilla FC on 8 March 1936 which was his debut. The competition was not held from 1936 to 1939 due to the Spanish Civil War, and he played one year in Mexico with Club América during that hiatus. López Herranz signed for Hércules CF, also in the Spanish top flight, in 1940. In his only season, in which the Valencian Community club narrowly avoided relegation, he scored braces against Real Murcia CF (4–0, home) and Sevilla (8–3 away loss).

López Herranz returned to Mexico at the start of World War II, and definitely settled there. He started working with Club León. López Herranz was head coach of the Mexico national side in two FIFA World Cups, 1954 and 1958. The team only managed to collect one point from both tournaments, with the subsequent group-stage eliminations.
