Born in 1979 and son of a former player and coach known Mexican, He has done everything in life despite his young age.
And that if he had told Rafael Puente del Río ago 10 years he would ascend to the BUAP Lobos to the Mexican first division, surely you have laughed. In 2006-07 It was one of the protagonists of the Mexican telenovela, Postal Code, a kind of “90210” o “Afterclass” mexicana. It was Hector Garza. He also participated in another call “Women's word”. A telenovela that now looks on the bench Mexican professional football.
But this is not the only curiosity in life new coach fashion in Mexico. He was also a professional footballer, although his career was shorter than that of an actor. As if being soap opera actor and footballer had been little, He also worked as a commentator for Televisa in football matches of the Liga MX. What's more is that after being player, telenovela heartthrob, and commentator before being the coach who has led the Lobos BUAP the Liga MX, He was also sports director of one of the great Mexican, Chivas de Guadalajara. And all this, without complying with the 40.

Something that no one will remember him and after resounding success of the bet. His father, Rafael Bridge senior, It was international professional goalkeeper with Mexico with a subsequent career in the dugout and currently is dedicated to being a sports commentator.
