Martín Andrés Posse Paz (born 2 August 1975) is an Argentine retired footballer who played mainly as a forward, and the current manager of Spanish club CF Pobla de Mafumet.

Club career

Born in San Justo, Buenos Aires, Posse began his professional career with Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield, being part of its successful teams in the mid-1990s and making over 100 appearances in all competitions. He helped the club to three top division titles and four international tournaments, including the 1994 Copa Libertadores.

Posse joined Spanish side RCD Espanyol in 1999, going on to become one of the club's most important offensive elements in the subsequent La Liga seasons, although never an undisputed starter. After a successful loan at CD Tenerife in the second level[1] he returned to Catalonia, but only amassed 11 appearances in two campaigns combined.

Posse retired in late 2007 at the age of 32, after brief spells in the Spanish lower leagues with UE Figueres and UE Castelldefels, both in the Barcelona area.[2] As a manager he worked with Espanyol's youths in several capacities,[3][4] and had his first senior appointment with neighbouring CE L'Hospitalet, in division three.[5] He resigned on 13 October.[6]

On 29 June 2014 Posse was appointed at CF Pobla de Mafumet, Gimnàstic de Tarragona's farm team.[7]

International career

In 1997, Posse was selected for the Argentina squad to play in that year's Copa América, going on to collect three caps.
