Football career

Born in Cortegana, Huelva, Andalusia, Alfonsín began working as a coach with UD Almería B, being promoted to Tercera División in 2002. On 26 January 2004, he was appointed at the helm of the main squad, replacing fired Casuco.[1]

However, Alfonsín only remained one game in charge, being later replaced by Luis Ángel Duque. After the latter's resignment in April he returned,[2] narrowly avoiding relegation despite finishing 13th.

Alfonsín returned to the Rojiblancos on 29 January 2005, replacing Fernando Castro Santos.[3] After being in charge for five matches, he became Fabri's assistant the following month.[4]

In November 2007, Alfonsín returned to Almería's reserves,[5] still in the fourth level. A third spell befell in the 2010–11 season, and he led them to a comfortable mid-table position in Segunda División B in their first experience.
