Jesús Bracamontes, widely known as “El Profe”, is a former Mexican soccer coach and player who now brings his deep tactical insight to MLS on Apple TV as a Spanish-language analyst. His professional playing career included a notable three-year stint with Club Guadalajara (1981–1983) before transitioning to coaching full-time.
Bracamontes began developing young talent at Chivas and earned his first head coaching role in 1985 with El Tapatío in Mexico’s Second Division. He later served as assistant coach for Chivas’ first division squad in 1990 and became head coach in 1991, leading the iconic club through multiple competitive seasons. Over the years, he managed several Liga MX teams, including Tecos (UAG), Correcaminos (UAT), and Morelia, as well as promotion league teams Nacional Tijuana and Chivas Tijuana. He returned to Chivas as head coach in 2000 before taking on a key leadership role as sports director for the Mexican national team from 2003 to 2005, shaping player development ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Bracamontes launched his broadcasting career in 1998 with Grupo ACIR, providing commentary for the FIFA World Cup in France. He joined Univision in 2002, where he became a fixture for two decades, covering MLS, Liga MX, and major international tournaments—including FIFA World Cup, Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and UEFA competitions—alongside longtime partner Pablo Ramírez. He has covered six FIFA World Cups, one of Grupo ACIR (1998) and five for Univision (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018).
