Lucas Emanuel Ayala Miño (born August 11, 1978) is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder and current manager of Liga Premier de México club Gavilanes de Matamoros.[1] Born in Argentina, he played for the Mexico national team.
On 16 January 2009, Ayala was called up to the Mexico national team. This caused some controversy among Mexico's native-born. He declared to the media that he wanted to give back the favours that Mexico has granted him such as his footballing career which started in Mexico, not Argentina. He was present with the squad that faced Sweden on 28 January 2009.
As of 28 January 2009
