Gustavo Julio Alfaro (born 14 August 1962) is an Argentine former footballer and currently a manager , coach of Gimnasia de La Plata.
Alfaro had a short career as a footballer, he was captain of the Atlético de Rafaela, with which he won promotion to the Argentine Primera División in 1989. Alfaro retired from football in 1992 to concentrate on his coaching career. He won his first league title with Arsenal de Sarandí in the 2012 Clausura.
Alfaro started his career as manager working for Atlético de Rafaela and Patronato de Paraná in the early 1990s. He then had his first spell as manager of Quilmes and a second spell at Atlético de Rafaela.
In 2001, Alfaro became the manager of Olimpo and led them to the Primera B Nacional Apertura 2001 championship and promotion to the Primera.
In 2003, Alfaro led Quilmes to promotion. He stayed to manage the team for the following season (2003–04), achieving a 4th and a 6th place finish which earned them qualification for the 2005 Copa Libertadores and 2004 Copa Sudamericana tournaments.
In his only shot at an important club, Alfaro had a disastrous spell in San Lorenzo, before joining Arsenal de Sarandí in late 2006.
Alfaro helped Arsenal to two 5th place finishes, allowing the club to qualify for the Copa Libertadores for the first time in their history. They also earned qualification for the 2007 Copa Sudamericana, where they beat Argentine champions San Lorenzo in the qualifying round to earn a place in the round of 16. In that stage, they faced Brazilian team Goiás. Arsenal won 3-2 in Brazil and recorded a 1-1 draw in the second leg to win the tie 4-3 on aggregate, their official first victory over foreign opposition. Arsenal eventually reached the final of the competition, leaving a wake of sacked managers in their wake, including Daniel Passarella, who resigned from River Plate after their defeat by Arsenal in the semi-finals.
