Santana represented the Mexico national team in a game against China on 16 April 2008, making his 7th appearance since Ricardo LaVolpe called him for El Tri. Recently, Santana has stated his desire to leave Chivas following the arrival of Carlos Ochoa.
On December 19, it was announced that he would go to Deportivo Toluca F.C..
In Santana's first match for Toluca, he scored a goal against Monarcas Morelia. The match ended in a draw at a goal each.
On June 17, 2009, during the Mexican Football Draft in Cancun, the Monterrey announced that Santana was to join their squad. With Monterrey, he won a couple of championships and a Concacaf Champions League in 2010.
