Rubio has spent his coaching career in the Liga de Ascenso. He has coached Colibríes de Morelos, including a span in 2003 where he was fired mid-Clausura,[2] re-hired two weeks later, and then fired once again three weeks after being re-hired.[3] He also coached Cruz Azul Oaxaca who are now Cruz Azul Hidalgo, Atlético Celaya who are now Club Celaya, and as of 2011 was the manager at Estudiantes de Altamira.[4]

[edit]

Rubio's sister María Eugenia played for the unofficial Mexico women's national football team in the 1970 and 1971 Women's World Cups, scoring the first goal in each tournament and a total of four across both.[5] Her short stature earned her the nickname La Peque (the short one),[6] and during his career Sergio was nicknamed El Peque.[5][2]
