The reason Tomas Boy was hospitalized

According to the information known so far, the soccer coach was hospitalized due to pulmonary thromboembolism.

For this reason, he was admitted to a hospital in Acapulco, but more recent versions indicate that he is in a clinic in Mexico City.

The news that "El Jefe", as he is known in Liga MX, was hospitalized, was also spread thanks to the TV program Pasión Futbolera in which Andrés, the coach's son, works.

Due to his absence from the driver's program, his program partner Antonio Nelli commented that Andrés had to go on a trip since his father, Tomás Boy, had suffered from this heart problem since the weekend.

And despite the fact that there is no certainty about his state of health, some journalistic sources indicate that the Mexican strategist is in very serious condition.

Tomas Boy as player

Tomás Boy's career can be separated into two main areas: first as a player and then as a coach.

As a player, Boy began his career at Atlético Español in 1970, and later, he would arrive at Atlético Potosino, to finally be transferred to Tigres in 1975, a club in which he would achieve his best performance as a player.

For the Felinos, Boy would win the Copa México in 1976 and would also win the Mexican First Division title twice, first in the 1977-1978 campaign, and would repeat the feat in 1981-1982.

In Tigres, he would become the top scorer in the history of the club, and his record would only be broken by Frenchman André Pierre-Gignac until very recently.

In addition to these achievements, Boy was part of the Mexican soccer team that participated in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the only tournament in which this national team has reached the quarterfinals of the competition.

Tomas Boy as Coach

Upon retiring as a player, the Mexican decided to start his career as a coach and his first team was the San José Earthquakes in 1988 in the United States.

He would then return to Mexico to direct Tampico Madero, Querétaro, Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, Monarcas Morelia, Monterrey, Puebla, Atlas, Cruz Azul, Guadalajara and Mazatlán FC, which was his last team as coach in the 2020-2021 campaign.

As a coach, Tomás Boy did not manage to obtain any title, but he managed to impress an intense and offensive style on his clubs, and he always kept his teams fighting for titles.
