As part of the strengthening of the Rojiblanco squad for the Apertura 2025 and the Leagues Cup, the arrival of a new reinforcement for Guadalajara has been made official today, someone who already knows what it's like to wear this shirt and who was formed in the Cantera Rojiblanca. That's right, Diego Campillo is a new player of the Rebaño Sagrado.
Who is Diego Campillo?
- He was born on October 19, 2001 in Durango.
- He is 23 years old
- He was formed in the Cantera Rojiblanca, as he arrived at Verde Valle when he was only 14 years old.

What is his trajectory as a player?
- After concluding his process in the Guadalajara Subs, Campillo joined the ranks of Tapatío in the Expansion League.
- He had a brief stint with Mineros de Zacatecas, a team with which he was able to grow and try new airs.
- He returned to the Rebaño's affiliate and after several tournaments of consolidation and growth, in the Apertura 2023 he left for Bravos de Juárez, a team where he earned his place and enough minutes.
- He was recently included in the pre-list of the National Team for the Gold Cup.
His track record as a player

- With El Tapatío he won the Clausura 2023 title and the Champion of Champions that same year.
What will he bring to Guadalajara?
- We will start by talking about how multifaceted Diego Campillo is, and as we told you before, he enriches the team by being able to play in any position in the defensive line and also as a midfielder.
- His conditions are very outstanding and we will begin by talking about his technical skills. The player from Durango has an extraordinary ball control, both in the choice and quality of his passing, as well as in his dribbling and dribbling with which he can initiate attacks.
- He has grown a lot in the interpretation of the game, since as a central defender he was used to see the game from the front and when he became a midfielder, with all that implies playing in that role, he obtained other virtues in reading the game and positioning within the field.
- He has an outstanding evolution in defensive duels, as he is becoming more and more effective in this type of confrontations.
- Physically he is in a great moment, and since he was in El Rebaño's basic team he always stood out for his speed, something he has been developing and combining with the physical power he has acquired.
- His conditions adapt perfectly to Gabriel Milito's idea, who likes to use aggressive central defenders with the ball. In addition, El Rebaño's coach usually plays matches with different defensive structures, which opens the door for Campillo to contribute his grain of sand.
