Career
Born in Mexico City, Carrillo played football for Cruz Azul, Atlético Español, Tigres de la UANL, Deportivo Neza, Oaxtepec, Puebla and Ángeles de Puebla. He was league runner-up with Tigres UANL in 1977–78.
Carrillo played for Mexico at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.
He started coaching on October 1, 1999, with Puebla F.C.. Later on, he worked as an assistant coach for UNAM Pumas, under head coach Hugo Sánchez, becoming champions for two tournaments in a row. Mario is known for his strong defensive, yet fast offensive playing scheme, and always requesting his players to never give up. He always spends long hours study next match rivals, hence gaining the nickname of "Capello", in reference to Italian head coach Fabio Capello's skills.
In 2005, Club América won the Clausura championship under Carrillo, being his biggest accomplishment so far.
After Tigres suffered months of scandal over the hiring of José Luis Trejo, and a poor record of eight games in a row without victory, Carrillo arrived to the team to try and correct the path. After a positive season, he was fired after a disappointing season.
Carrillo later joined Javier Aguirre as an assistant coach, first in Spain, and later in the Mexican National Team.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
