Alberto Mario Jorge Espósito (1 January 1950 – 3 September 2024) was an Argentine football manager and player. He spent most of his career in Mexico, where he arrived in 1975 to play with León.

As a manager, he won a Primera División title with Toluca as caretaker, coaching the team in the last four games of the tournament (the two legs of the playoffs semi-finals and the two legs of the final). Jorge is the only caretaker manager to have won a league title in the Liga MX so far.[2]
