Javier Lozano Chavira

Javier Lozano Chavira (born 9 February 1971) is a Mexican former professional footballer. He played for Tigres UANL and Monarcas Morelia as a midfielder. He is nicknamed "El Pastor", which means "The Shepherd". He wore the number 22 shirt for both teams.

He debuted with Tigres in 1992. His most notable season was 1995–96, when he scored 12 goals. That year, Tigres fought to avoid relegation to the Primera División A. Though Tigres qualified to the playoffs at the end of the regular season, the Primera Division's use of a percentage system for relegation, in which the team with the worst percentage in three years (instead of the worst team of a season) is relegated, meant Tigres would still be dropping to the Primera División A. The crisis led to the privatization of the team.

After privatization, Tigres reinforced the team to fight for promotion, which was achieved within the year. "El Pastor" Lozano participated fully with the team. He played in First Division with Tigres the following season as well.

However, overweight issues led to his separation of the team. He trained with Necaxa for a short period, but was never able to regain his condition.

In 1999, he returned to play with Morelia for 6 seasons, in which he scored a total of 13 goals. He was champion with Morelia in 2000 and runner-up in 2002.
