Daniel Toribio Aquino Antúnez (born 9 June 1965 in Chajarí, Entre Ríos), nicknamed El Toro (bull), is a retired Argentine footballer who played as a striker.
Having spent the bulk of his career in Spain, appearing in 203 Segunda División games over the course of seven seasons (94 goals), in representation of four teams, his son Daniel was already born there, and played for Spain at youth levels.[1]
After starting his career at Club Atlético Banfield, Aquino moved to Spain in 1989, joining Real Murcia in the second division, and scoring 15 goals in 33 games in his first season. In the 1991 winter transfer window, he signed for another team in the country, Albacete Balompié, being relatively used as the Castile-La Mancha outfit retained its recently acquired La Liga status (18 starts).
From 1992–94, Aquino achieved two consecutive Pichichi Trophy awards in the second level, one of them - with Real Betis - ending in promotion. After a solid top flight season at Rayo Vallecano and a further one 1/2 at Albacete in division two, he finished his career in 2002 at the age of 37, with stints in the third category, including former team Murcia, where his son Daniel was born in 1990, eventually also becoming a professional footballer.
From 2008–10, Aquino coached Murcia's juniors.
