Alfredo Santaelena Aguado (born 13 October 1967 in Madrid), simply Alfredo, is a retired Spanish footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current coach.
Alfredo's career professional career began with hometown's Getafe CF in 1988, and he moved the following year to the top flight, with neighbours Atlético Madrid; after a friendly, he was personally signed by chairman Jesús Gil, going on to experience some of his best years.
On June 29, 1991, Alfredo scored the game's only goal against RCD Mallorca, in the Spanish Cup final, also appearing in the following year, a win against Real Madrid. He joined Deportivo de La Coruña in 1993, alongside teammate Donato, and produced roughly the same numbers, although he would be used more regularly.
Brought from the bench in the 1995 cup final against Valencia CF, diminutive Alfredo scored with his head for the final 2–1 win. Two years later, he left for Sevilla FC, being rarely used during his three 1/2-year stay, and finishing his career at nearly 36, with his first and second clubs.
Immediately after retiring, Alfredo took up coaching, mainly in the lower leagues. In 2007, he led CD Cobeña - also in Madrid - to the third division for the first time ever, but the team folded soon after.
