Patricio Hernández

Patricio Hernández (born 16 August 1956) is an Argentine football (soccer) coach and former player.

After some years at Estudiantes de La Plata, which earned him acclaim as an effective midfielder, he was transferred to Italian squad Torino F.C.. National squad coach César Menotti included Hernández in the 1982 squad as his third choice for creative midfielder, behind Diego Maradona and José Daniel Valencia. He didn't manage to play any game in that tournament, though.

He has had a heretofar unsuccessful coaching career, including Estudiantes, Racing, and other teams in South America, mostly in Ecuador.
