Daniel Toribio Aquino Antúnez (born 9 June 1965), nicknamed El Toro (bull),[1] is an Argentine former footballer who played as a striker.

He spent the bulk of his professional career in Spain, appearing in 203 Segunda División matches over seven seasons (94 goals) in representation of four teams. His son Daniel was already born there, and played for Spain at youth level.[2]

Club career

Aquino was born in Chajarí, Entre Ríos Province. After starting his career at Club Atlético Banfield he moved to Spain in 1989, joining Real Murcia CF of Segunda División and scoring 15 goals in 33 appearances in his first season. In the 1991 winter transfer window he signed for another team in the country, Albacete Balompié, being relatively used as the Castilla–La Mancha side retained their recently acquired La Liga status (18 starts).[1]

From 1992 to 1994, Aquino achieved two consecutive Pichichi Trophy awards in the second tier, one of them – with Real Betisending in promotion.[3] [4] After a solid top-flight campaign at Rayo Vallecano and a further one and a half at Albacete in division two, he finished his career in 2002 at the age of 37, with stints in the Segunda División B including former club Murcia, where his son Daniel was born in 1990, eventually also becoming a professional footballer.[1]

From 2008 to 2010, Aquino coached Murcia's juniors.[5]
