Pablo Alfaro Armengot (born 26 April 1969) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager. In his career, in which he represented six teams – most notably Sevilla – he amassed La Liga totals of 418 games and seven goals over the course of 15 seasons, receiving a total of 18 red cards and being sent off nearly 30 times.〔(La doble personalidad de Pablo Alfaro (Pablo Alfaro's double personality) ); El País, 23 November 2000 〕〔(Hard man's soft spot for Sevilla ); UEFA.com, 4 January 2006〕 In the late 2000s, Alfaro embarked in a managerial career. ==Playing career== Born in Zaragoza, Alfaro started his career with his hometown's Real Zaragoza. He made his La Liga debut on 3 September 1989 in a 3–0 home win against Rayo Vallecano, and he only missed one league game in his debut season as the Aragonese finished in ninth position. In the 1992 summer Alfaro signed with FC Barcelona,〔(“No vengo a sustituir a Nando ni a nadie” (“I'm not here to replace Nando or anybody else”) ); El Mundo Deportivo, 3 July 1992 〕〔(“No vengo a sustituir a Nando ni a nadie” (“I'm not here to replace Nando or anybody else”) – 2nd part ); El Mundo Deportivo, 3 July 1992 〕 being rarely used in his only season in Catalonia. He went on to represent Racing de Santander and Atlético de Madrid, being an undisputed starter in Cantabria but only second or third-choice with the ''Colchoneros''. Alfaro joined CP Mérida for the 1997–98 campaign, playing all but four matches as the Extremadura side was relegated from the top flight, and collecting 12 yellow cards and two red in the process. In 1999–2000 the club finished in sixth position in Segunda División but was relegated again, due to financial irregularities. In the 2000 summer the veteran joined Sevilla FC also in the second level, helping the Andalusians return to the top division in his first season. During his Sevilla years Alfaro formed a fearsome partnership as stopper with Javi Navarro,〔(Sevilla defender banned ); UEFA.com, 15 January 2003〕〔(La fuerza del orgullo y el coraje (The strength of pride and courage) ); Orgullo de Nervión, 23 May 2013 〕〔(Javi Navarro y Pablo Alfaro, la pareja defensiva del Sevilla (Javi Navarro and Pablo Alfaro, Sevilla's defensive duo) ); Liga BBVA, 25 March 2014 〕 but, following the emergence of club 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 and scoring a rare but crucial goal on 7 May in a 2–1 home win against CA Osasuna to help it barely avoid top flight relegation.〔(El Racing canta su particular alirón (Racing sings its own ''alirón'') ); El Mundo, 7 May 2006 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pablo Alfaro Armengot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
