At the start of the Clausura 2006, once again Puebla fell victim to poor administration errors. First, they let go of Eudalio Arriaga and brought Leandro Alvez and Carlos María Morales. Second, they changed coaches, provoking the club to fall into last place with 14 points. When they played the promotion match, they brought in as head coach César Luis Menotti, who took the club to Argentina for a short pre-season action and later they named César Luis Menotti as coach. With all this going on, when the day came to face Querétaro, the club was not at 100% and fell in the first match 1–2 in the Estadio Cuauhtémoc and 3–0 in the Estadio La Corregidora.
