Carlos Alberto Vela Garrido (born 1 March 1989 in Cancún, Quintana Roo) is a Mexican association football player, currently playing as a Winger for La Liga club Real Sociedad on loan from Arsenal. He also plays for the Mexico national football team. He started his career at Mexican club C.D. Guadalajara, and caught the eye after finishing as the top scorer at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship. After joining Arsenal, he has had loan spells at Spanish clubs UD Salamanca and CA Osasuna.

Aside from his Mexican nationality, Vela also holds a Spanish passport.

Carlos Vela's career started with Guadalajara, alongside his brother Alejandro Vela. After winning the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship with Mexico and finishing as the top scorer with five goals, Jorge Vergara, owner and president of Chivas de Guadalajara, offered to sign him. Since Vela's family lived in the then-recently-storm-stricken Cancún, Quintana Roo, he asked that the club help relocate them as a condition of his signing. Vela had previously shown his great affection to his father, whose birthday fell on the day on which Mexico beat Brazil in the final of the U-17 World Cup, by carrying the cup to his father and dedicating his Golden Boot to him.

Miguel Ernesto Herrera Aguirre (born February 18, 1968) is a retired football defender and the head coach of Club América. He was born in Cuatepec, Hidalgo, México.

As a player, Herrera made his first debut with Querétaro FC in 1990. Then he moved to Atlante FC in 1991, where he would remain until 1995. He was then sold to Toros Neza. The club would reach its first final in the "Verano '97" season, ultimately losing to Chivas with a total score of 7-2. In 1999, Herrera returned to Atlante for one more year before he would retire and pursue being a coach. He now has a prime time showtime position with the a coaching job that has skeptics on the lookout.

In 2002, only two years after retiring, Herrera came back to coach his old team Atlante. He coached for two years, but resigned after failing to take Atlante to a final. Starting the next season in the Apertura 2004 season, Herrera once again came back, but to coach CF Monterrey. He ironically ended up facing his ex-team Atlante in the semifinals, in where he defeated them in a global score of 7-3. He ultimately failed to make Monterrey champions where they lost to Pumas UNAM in the final with a global score of 3-1. He succeeded in taking Monterrey to another final in the Apertura 2005 season, where he failed once more to Toluca with a global score of 6-3. Herrera would continue to be Monterrey's coach until the Apertura 2007 season where his contract was terminated due to the continuous poor performances the team had made. In the Clausura 2008 season, Herrera was hired as coach for CD Veracruz after the resignation of Antonio Mohamed. There, he was in charge of preventing Veracruz from being relegated to the Primera División A, in which inevitably Veracruz was relegated. He continued to be the coach for Veracruz anyway until he was recently hired to coach Tecos UAG half-way in the Apertura 2008 to replace Jose Luis Trejo.
