José Armando Ufarte Ventoso (born 17 May 1941) is a Spanish retired football right winger and manager.
Over the course of 11 seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 274 games and 32 goals, almost exclusively for Atlético Madrid. He later embarked in a managerial career, which included managing both his main club and the Spanish national team, in various levels and capacities.
Ufarte represented Spain at the 1966 World Cup.
Born in Pontevedra, Galicia, Ufarte moved with his family to Brazil at a young age, playing in the country with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (two stints) and Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and earning the nickname O Espanhol (The Spaniard in Portuguese) during his spell. In 1964 he returned to his homeland, signing for Atlético Madrid and making his La Liga debut on 13 September in a 3–1 home win against Real Betis, helping the team to an eventual runner-up position.
In the 1969–70 season, Ufarte played all 30 league games and scored three goals as the Colchoneros won the national championship, the second of the three the player would win with the team. In the 1974 summer, after having appeared in 323 official matches, netting 36 times, the 33-year-old joined Racing de Santander in Segunda División, achieving top flight promotion in his first year and retiring after the following campaign.
