Favio Leandro Orsi (born 18 February 1974) is an Argentine football manager and former player who played mainly as a midfielder.

Career Born in Pilar, Buenos Aires, Orsi played youth football for River Plate and Platense, also featuring with the first team of the latter. He also represented Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in his home country before moving to Finland in 1997 with FC Jazz, where he featured in nine Veikkausliiga matches.

Orsi retired in 2000, after struggling for two years with a knee injury while playing for an Italian club, but returned to action for a brief period in 2010 with Pilar FC. In the following year, he moved to a managerial role, taking over the latter side.

In 2012, Orsi moved to Fénix to join the coaching staff of Oscar Santángelo, and met Sergio Gómez (who was also a part of the staff). In April 2013, after Santángelo resigned, both Orsi and Gómez were named managers.
