Alfredo Sánchez Benito (born 3 December 1972), known simply as Alfredo, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.

Over the course of ten seasons, he amassed Segunda División totals of 314 games and 24 goals, with Leganés, Osasuna (which he also represented in La Liga)[1] and Elche.

After retiring, Alfredo worked several years as assistant coach, with Osasuna.

Football career

Alfredo was born in Madrid. Starting in 1993–94, he played his first seven seasons as a professional in Segunda División, with hometown club CD Leganés and CA Osasuna: in the last one he appeared in 37 games and scored four goals, to help the latter return to La Liga after an absence of six years.

Subsequently, Alfredo competed with the Navarrese in the top level, his best year being 2002–03 – 31 matches, 21 starts, 1,910 minutes of action. Released in the 2004 summer, he then was an undisputed starter during three second level campaigns with Elche CF,[2] and he retired at the end of 2007–08 (aged nearly 36) in Segunda División B, where he represented Benidorm CF.

Immediately after retiring, Alfredo re-joined Osasuna, going on to act as assistant coach for several managers.[3][4][5] In between those spells, he acted as match scout at Atlético Madrid.[6]
