Lozano was capped 34 times for theMexico national team; he made three appearances in the team's fourth-place finish at the2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, and eleven in the2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[2] A series of injuries kept him away from the team in the months leading up to the World Cup. Nevertheless, Lozano was named byRicardo La Volpe in a provisional list of 26 players. However, he did not make the final list.
Lozano was one of the players selected byHugo Sánchez to compete in theCopa América 2007. He made his first appearance in the tournament coming on as a substitute in Mexico's opening 2–0 group stage victory overBrazil.
After winning the U-20 Clausura Liga MX title with Querétaro FC's U-20 team, Lozano was promoted to be an assistant coach atQuerétaro's senior team underVíctor Manuel Vucetich.
After Vucetich was sacked on 31 January 2017, Lozano was appointed manager. On 16 July, he won his first career title as a manager when Querétaro defeatedAmérica 2–0 to clinch the2017 Supercopa MX. On 22 October, Lozano was sacked after a poor run of form which left Querétaro in last place, being replaced byLuis Fernando Tena.[4]
