Jaime Arturo "Jimmy" Lozano Espín (born 29 September 1978) is a Mexican former professional footballer and current manager.
Lozano spent the majority of his playing career with Club Universidad Nacional, playing in over 160 matches with the club. He also had spells with Tigres UANL and Cruz Azul, and Monarcas Morelia.
A Mexico international, Lozano made his debut in 2000, earning 34 caps and scoring 12 goals during a seven-year period. He participated with the national team in various competitions, including two Copa América tournaments, the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Club career
He debuted with Pumas UNAM in 1998, and until 2001, when he moved to Celaya to play for a team that then contested in the Primera División (First Division), but has since been relegated. In 2002, he returned to Pumas where he won the Mexican Championship twice. After that, Lozano had problems renewing his contract for the following tournament and became a free agent. He signed on with Tigres UANL for the next two years.
International career
Mexico national team
Lozano was called up to the Mexico national team many times; he made three appearances for Mexico in the team's fourth-place finish at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, and eleven games in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[1] A series of injuries kept him away from the team in the months leading up to the World Cup. Nevertheless, Lozano was named by Ricardo La Volpe in a provisional list of 26 players. However, he performed poorly and did not make the final list.
Lozano was one of the players selected by Hugo Sánchez to compete in the Copa América 2007. He made his first appearance in the tournament coming on as a substitute during Mexico's 2–0 victory over Brazil.

Managerial career
Querétaro
After winning the U-20 Clausura Liga MX title with Querétaro FC's U-20 team, Lozano was promoted to be an assistant coach at Querétaro's senior team under Víctor Manuel Vucetich.
After Vucetich was sacked on January 31, 2017, Lozano was appointed manager. On July 16, Lozano won his first career title as a manager when Querétaro defeated América 2–0 to clinch the 2017 Supercopa MX. On October 22, Lozano was sacked after a poor run of form which left Querétaro in last place, being replaced by Luis Fernando Tena.[2]
Mexico U-23
On 18 December 2018, Lozano was named manager of the Mexico U-23 national team.[3]
At the 2019 Toulon Tournament, Lozano took the team to a third place finish, defeating the Republic of Ireland in a penalty shoot-out 4–3 following a scoreless draw.[4] Disputing the Pan American Games the following month, he led the team to a third-place finish, defeating Uruguay 1–0, receiving the bronze medal.[5]
He would go on to lead Mexico's Olympic Team to win Bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.
