Muñoz is of Greek descent on his mother's side.
His nickname is "el tibio", which means "lukewarm" in Spanish. It was coined because Felipe's father was from Aguascalientes, meaning "hot waters", and his mother was from the town of Río Frío, Mexico State, meaning "cold river". He had the habit of refusing to swim in an unheated pool.
