Club career
He debuted with Pumas UNAM in 1998, and until 2001, when he moved to Celaya to play for a team that then contested in the Primera División (First Division), but has since been relegated. In 2002, he returned to Pumas where he won the Mexican Championship twice. After that, Lozano had problems renewing his contract for the following tournament and became a free agent. He signed on with Tigres UANL for the next two years.
International career
Lozano was called up to the Mexico national team many times; he became an instrumental part in the qualification to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, scoring several important goals. However, a series of injuries kept him away from the team in the matches previous to the tournament. Nevertheless, he was nominated by Ricardo Lavolpe in a list of 26 players from which he would get the definitive list of 23, in the hope that his condition would improve for the competition. However, he performed poorly and did not make the final list. He played three matches for Mexico in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup and eleven games in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Lozano was one of the players selected by Hugo Sánchez to compete in the Copa América 2007. He made his first appearance in the tournament coming on as a sub during Mexico's victory over Brazil (2-0).
Querétaro FC
After winning the U-20 Clausura Liga MX title with Querétaro FC's U-20 team, Lozano was promoted to be an assistant coach at Querétaro's senior team under Victor Manuel Vucetich. After Vucetich was sacked on January 31, 2017, Lozano was appointed manager.
On July 16, 2017, Querétaro defeated América to win the 2017 Supercopa MX.
