What was Paul Aguilar’s career like?
He made the inferiors in the Concordia Fútbol Club teamwhere due to his outstanding performances he was taken to the Pachuca Club. In 2005 he was sent to the second club belonging to Pachuca, called Indios, which played in the second division and debuted on August 6 of that year. In June 2006 his return to Pachuca was made official, although he did not have playing time. On August 6 he made his official debut in the team against Cruz Azul.
From the first game he had such an outstanding performance that he became the undisputed starter and also earned a call to the national team for the 2010 South Africa World Cup. After the 2011 season he was bought by América for 7 million dollars. He was on this team until 2020, where a situation occurred in which he was treated unfairly and was probably the reason why ended up walking away from football.
The new coach said that he was not going to take it into account, but the managers offered him a contract where he would earn just a third of his current salary. Not satisfied with that, he decided to leave, but no offers came from other clubs, and he had to resort to other ways to earn money.
