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:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“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)
