He made three appearances for Mexico Under-20s at the 1979 FIFA World Youth Championship.[3] Javier was a member of the Mexican national team to reach quarterfinals in the 1986 FIFA World Cup and a part of the generation of Mexicans who were banned from the 1990 FIFA World Cup due to the use of over age players in a U-20 World Cup.[4][5]
Hernández was previously the manager of Guadalajara's reserve side. He asked for permission to take leave in order to watch his son Javier Hernández Balcázar play at the 2010 World Cup for Mexico. After permission was refused, he decided to quit his job as manager of Guadalajara's reserve side to watch his son play.[6][7]
