Miguel Ángel Russo (born 9 April 1956) is an Argentine professional football manager and former player who played as a defensive midfielder.

Although Russo was called on by national team coach Carlos Bilardo to play in the 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, a string of minor injuries prevented him from traveling to the main event in Mexico, which Argentina ultimately won.

His career as a coach included stints at Estudiantes de La Plata and Lanús (both of whom he helped promote), and other sides in Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Spain.

[1] On 15 April 2009, Russo joined Rosario Central, replacing Reinaldo Merlo[2] and just two months later on 14 July 2009 the coach quit the team.

[4] On 6 November 2011, after Estudiantes was defeated 1–3 by Godoy Cruz and in turn falling to last place with only 10 points in 14 games, Russo resigned as manager, less than 5 months after having assumed charge.

[6] two months later he obtained a new title winning the 2019-20 Superliga beating River Plate led by Marcelo Gallardo in the final stretch.

[7] After being eliminated by Santos (BRA) from the Conmebol Libertadores, Boca Juniors played Copa Diego Maradona final against Banfield.
