Leonardo Carlos "Leo" Fernández (born 16 March 1972) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a left back, and is a manager.
Born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Fernández played as a left back during his career. After graduating with Club Renato Cesarini's youth setup, he notably represented River Plate (but only appearing for the reserve side), Central Córdoba, Gimnasia y Tiro, Aldosivi and Tiro Federal. He retired with the latter in 1999.[1]
In 2000, shortly after retiring, Fernández started working as a manager, taking over Club Sportivo Belgrano de Oliveros' youth squads. He was later in charge of Renato Cesarini, Tiro Federal,[2] Atlético Pujato[3] and Coronel Aguirre[4] before joining Rosario Central's youth setup in 2013.[5]
On 16 December 2016, after the dismissal of Eduardo Coudet, Fernández was named interim manager of the first team.[6] His first professional match in charge occurred two days later, a 2–0 win against Belgrano.[7] After the appointment of Paolo Montero, he returned to his previous duties.
On 11 November 2017, Fernández was again interim in the place of Montero.[8] He was definitely appointed manager on 27 December,[9] but resigned the following 28 April.[10]
