Flavio Horacio Robatto (born 16 January 1974) is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of Bolivian club Bolívar.

Career

Born in Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Robatto was a youth graduate of hometown side Estudiantes de Río Cuarto before being registered as a Platense player. He retired at the age of 26 due to a Hepatitis B, and subsequently became a manager.[1]

Robatto then managed several lowly sides in his home country before moving abroad in 2011, as an assistant manager of Álex Aguinaga.[2] In 2015, he worked as manager of Norte América before being named Rubén Israel's assistant at Millonarios.[3]

In March 2017, Robatto was appointed manager of Cúcuta Deportivo, but was sacked on 21 November.[4] He was named in charge of Peruvian Segunda División side Alianza Atlético the following 24 February,[5] but was dismissed on 6 June 2018.[6]

In August 2018, Robatto agreed to a deal with Atlético Bucaramanga to become their manager,[7] but the deal was cancelled days later, due to a supposed deal with Polish side MKS Kalwarianka.[8] Late in the month, he was announced as manager of Jaguares de Córdoba.[9]

Robatto resigned from Jaguares on 29 October 2018,[10] and took over LDU Loja in Ecuador the following 20 June.[11] On 2 January 2020, he was appointed in charge of Atlético Huila,[12] but resigned in September.

On 13 April 2021, Robatto replaced Álvaro Peña as manager of Bolivian side Nacional Potosí.[13] He was in charge of the side on two further occasions, in 2022 and 2023.

On 3 January 2024, Robatto resigned from Nacional Potosí,[14] and took over Bolívar two days later.[15]
