Career

Cruz Azul

Chávez spent most of his professional career at Cruz Azul, playing as a right-back. He won his first major title during the Clausura 2013 Copa MX, starting the final against Atlante on 10 April 2013, which Cruz Azul won 4–2 on penalties. On 21 February 2014, Chávez scored twice in a 3–1 away win against Querétaro. His second goal came from a 50-yard volley from just past the midfield line that went over goalkeeper Edgar Hernández. Later that season, he won the 2013–14 CONCACAF Champions League, starting both legs of the final against Toluca. Before the Clausura 2016 tournament, Cruz Azul management attempted to transfer Chávez to second-division side Alebrijes de Oaxaca. Chávez rejected the move. Following the dispute, manager Tomás Boy left him out of the first-team squad for the entire tournament. Chávez did not make an appearance during the season and left the club as a free agent.[2]

Chávez joined Pachuca on a six-month loan deal spanning from June to December 2011. He made his debut for the club on 23 July 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–1 victory against Santos Laguna. On 29 October 2011, Chávez scored his first and only goal for Pachuca during a 4–0 win over Monterrey. He concluded his short tenure with the team in December 2011 before moving on to his next loan spell.

Atlas

Following his loan spell at Pachuca, Chávez joined Atlas on a six-month loan agreement for the Clausura 2012 tournament. He made his official debut for the club on 7 January 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Puebla. He made 10 league appearances during his temporary stint with the Guadalajara-based side. After completing the six-month term in June 2012, Chávez returned to Cruz Azul. [3]

FBC Melgar

[edit]

Chávez signed with Peruvian Primera División side FBC Melgar in August 2016 as a free agent. He made his competitive debut on 25 August 2016, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 home victory against Unión Comercio. Throughout his short stint with the Arequipa-based club, he featured primarily as a right-back, registering 14 league appearances and one Copa Sudamericana appearance before his contract concluded at the end of the year.

Arka Gdynia

[edit]

After being without a club for a period, Chávez signed with Polish Ekstraklasa side Arka Gdynia on 28 November 2018. The contract officially took effect on 1 January 2019, when the winter transfer window opened. He made his official and only league appearance for the club on 13 May 2019, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Damian Zbozień in a 2–0 away victory against Miedź Legnica. Chávez left the club at the conclusion of his contract in the summer of 2019.[4] He officially retired on July 1, 2020.

International Career

[edit]

Manager Miguel Herrera called Chávez up to the Mexico national team during the 2013–14 season. He made his senior international debut on 2 April 2014, starting at right-back in a 2–2 friendly draw against the United States in Glendale, Arizona. Paul Aguilar substituted him out in the 63rd minute. This was his only cap for Mexico, as he missed out on the final 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[5]
