Pablo Alfaro

Pablo Alfaro Armengot (born 26 April 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, currently a manager.

[6] Alfaro joined CP Mérida for the 1997–98 campaign, playing all but four matches as the Extremadurans were relegated from the top flight and collecting 12 yellow cards and two red in the process.

[9] During his spell, Alfaro formed a fearsome partnership with Javi Navarro,[10][11][12] but following the emergence of youth graduate Sergio Ramos and the January 2006 arrival of Julien Escudé, he became a secondary defensive unit, leaving in that transfer window to former side Racing[13] and scoring a rare but crucial goal on 7 May in a 2–1 home win against CA Osasuna to help them to barely avoid top-tier relegation.

Two years later he started his coaching career, with Segunda División B team Pontevedra CF,[15] leading the Galicians to the fourth position in the regular season, albeit with no subsequent play-off promotion.

[23] Alfaro returned to the second level on 28 March 2017, being appointed at last-placed CD Mirandés until June following the dismissal of Javier Álvarez de los Mozos.

[30] In November 2023, he was appointed as the new manager of Real Murcia CF in place of the sacked Gustavo Munúa, signing a contract for the remainder of the campaign[31] and leaving at its closure.
