Biography
Formation
Club Santos Laguna, commonly known as Santos Laguna, was founded in 1983 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) of the state of Durango. Initially named Club Santos IMSS Laguna, the club was formed to participate in a national football tournament sponsored by the IMSS. José Díaz Couder, the head of social services in Gómez Palacio, played a pivotal role in assembling the team, drawing inspiration from Asturias F.C. After a brief stint in Tlaxcala, the team moved to Gómez Palacio and eventually secured their home ground at Estadio Corona in Torreón.

The club quickly established itself, winning its first match as Santos Laguna on September 4, 1988, with a 2-0 victory. Under the ownership of Salvador Necochea Sagi, the team avoided relegation in its first year in the Segunda División 'A' de México, showcasing a promising start with notable players like William Galindo and Carlos González. The club's nickname, "the Warriors," emerged during this period as they rallied from a poor start to finish 10th in the league.

Remarkably, the club is one of only seven Mexican teams that have never faced relegation, a testament to its consistent performance in Liga MX.

Career & Clubs
Formation and early years
Santos Laguna was founded in 1983 by the IMSS of the state of Durango. Since the late 1970s, the IMSS had sponsored a national football tournament with teams from across the country. José Díaz Couder, IMSS head of social services in Gómez Palacio, was invited to participate in the tournaments despite the fact that he did not have a team. He appealed to the players he knew to form a team, based on Asturias F.C. In 1987, Tuberos de Veracruz, part of the Segunda División de México, was purchased by IMSS and moved to Santa Cruz, Tlaxcala. The first Santos Laguna team spent less than a year in Tlaxcala before moving to Gómez Palacio. A lack of facilities spurred efforts to obtain Moctezuma Stadium (Estadio Corona) in Torreón, owned by John Abusaid, and the Saints made their first home in the former Estadio Corona. On September 4, 1988, the Warriors played their first game as Santos Laguna, winning 2–0.
Segunda Division A
When the IMSS sold its professional sports clubs, Salvador Necochea Sagi bought Santos Laguna. In their first year in the Segunda División 'A' de México, the Warriors avoided relegation with three wins, two draws and one loss. William (the Clash) Galindo, Carlos González, Julio César Armendáriz, Tomás Moreno and Fernando de la Rosa were notable players. In 1989, the Warriors earned their nickname when, after a poor start, they finished 10th. Their fan base grew, and the club's owners bought the first Estadio Corona.…
