Leandro Damián Cufré (born 9 May 1978 in La Plata, Argentina) is a retired Argentinian footballer who last played as a defender for Club Universidad de Guadalajara of the Liga MX.
Cufre won seventeen caps for Argentina national football team and was included in their squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Cufré began his professional career at Gimnasia La Plata U-19 before being promoted to the first-team squad in January 1996. He went on to play 129 games, scoring four goals in the progress.
Cufré moved to Roma in January 2002. During his time at the Italian giants, he played 80 games, scored two goals and received the award for Best Defender in Italy. He was also loaned out to fellow Italian side Siena, where he played 35 times.
Cufré moved to France in Summer 2006, joining Ligue 1 side AS Monaco During his time at the club, he made 61 appearances and managed to score three goals. Cufré was a regular starter and, eventually, vice-captain of the team.
On 29 January 2009, Bundesliga side Hertha BSC announced that they had loaned Cufré from AS Monaco until the end of the 2008–09 season. He returned to Monaco in June 2009.
On 18 July 2009, Cufré returned to Gimnasia La Plata after eight years in Europe. On 16 August 2009, after a mini "soap opera," the Argentine wingback asked for – and was granted – his release due to a conflictive relation with Leonardo Madelón, the head coach at the time (though, personal reasons were officially cited).
