Jorge Francisco Almirón Quintana (born June 19, 1971), commonly known as Jorge Almirón, is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a defensive midfielder. He is the manager of Chilean club Colo-Colo.
On July 26, 1997, Almirón made his Liga MX debut with Atlas in a 2–1 victory over Puebla.
In the season of the Clausura 2006, he helped Querétaro pass to the Primera División of Mexico but then demoted back to the Segunda Division (now called Liga de Ascenso) in Clausura 2007. In 2008, he was named player-coach of Dorados.
As manager, Almirón guided Lanús to achieve its second league title ever and reached the 2017 Copa Libertadores finals, where they were defeated by Brazilian club Grêmio.
In November 2018, he was introduced as the new manager of San Lorenzo.
In June 2019, Almirón became the new manager of the Al-Shabab, after the Saudi club sacked the Romanian manager Marius Șumudică.[1]
On 26 August 2020, Almirón was appointed manager of recently promoted La Liga club Elche.[2]
