Leandro Atilio Romagnoli (born 17 March 1981) is an Argentine former professional footballer who played mainly as an attacking midfielder, currently a manager.

His thin build, short stature and playing style were reminiscent of compatriot Osvaldo Ardiles. What the player – nicknamed Pipi – lacked in physical strength, he made up for with dribbling ability.[2][3]

Romagnoli started and finished his career with San Lorenzo, but also spent four seasons in Portugal with Sporting CP.[4]
