Later he was the coach of Santos Laguna, Atlas, and Jaguares.

On October 4, 2011, Mexican club Chivas of Guadalajara had demoted coach Jose Luis Real and replaced him with Fernando Quirarte. The change came after Chivas lost 1–0 to Querétaro over the weekend, which extended the club's winless run to four in Mexico's Apertura championship.
