History
The history has not been fully explained by prior contributors....the sordid CD Irapuoto-to-ersatz Veracruz-to-Jaguares de Chiapas franchise movement.
In 2002, the people who ran the Veracruz club had the gall to buy another club from Irapuoto and move the team to Veracruz and play as Veracruz in the first division, while the real Veracruz was in the 2nd division. They bought and moved the 1st division club CD Irapuato in early 2002, in between the Verano 2001 and Invierno 2002 half-seasons. For 19 games in 2002, there was a Veracruz in both the first and the second divisions (!?). So of course, the 2nd-division-Veracruz won promotion after the Invierno 2002. Management sold the formerly-Irapuato-now-Veracruz club to a group in Chiapas state. The original-Veracruz ended up being relegated back to the Primera División A (the 2nd division) after the Clausura 2008. A new club was created, in the 2nd division, for Irapuato for the 2002-’03 season. The club won promotion that season, and played in Primera Division in the 2003-’04 season, but were relegated in 2004. Irapuato were relegated again to the third division. 3 years later, Pachuca-B gained promotion to the second division, and the club was sold and moved to…Irapuato. Talk about full circle.
Much like American sports, owners can throw a wrench in relegation plans by moving teams all over the country and changing names. This seems to have been largely forgotten or ignored.
The club in its Chiapas reincarnation was "founded" on 27 June 2002.[3] They played their first game on 3 August against Tigres de la UANL, losing 3–1, with Lucio Filomeno scoring the club's first ever goal. The clubs first win came on 25 August, a 1–0 win over San Luis.[4] They finished the Apertura 2002, with a record of three wins, seven draws, and nine defeats. In the Clausura 2005 they finished with six wins, four draws, and seven defeats, and the head coach José Luis Trejo was sacked in the middle of the season. The club then named Antonio Mohamed as manager, but poor results meant another change with Fernando Quirarte taking over for the remainder of the season, bringing stability to the team and results improved.[2] They won the Chiapas Cup in 2004 and on 16 July 2005, they won the Chiapas Cup for a second time, by defeating Club Necaxa at the Victor Manuel Reyna Stadium. In February 2008 Sergio Almaguer was named manager of Chiapas.
In the Clausara 2006, under new coach Eduardo de la Torre, the club finished with the second best record over the regular season, and with it a place in the Play-Offs, where they lost in the Quarter-final to Club Deportivo Guadalajara.[2]
