Rolando Hernán Cristante Mandarino (born 16 September 1969), known as Hernán Cristante, is an Argentine football manager and former player.

Club career

Cristante began his professional career with Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in Argentina, where he showed early promise before moving to Mexico in 1993 to join Toluca.

Though he had loan spells back in Argentina with Platense, Newell's Old Boys, and Huracán, it was in Toluca where he made his name. He became one of the most iconic goalkeepers in the history of the Mexican football league, making more than 400 appearances and helping Toluca secure five Primera División titles and a CONCACAF Champions Cup.

He holds the league record of 772 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.

After retiring as a player in 2012 following a final season with Leones Negros, Cristante transitioned into coaching. His managerial career includes spells with Toluca, Querétaro, Juárez, and most recently Puebla.

International career

Cristante represented the Argentina national team between 1989 and 1995, and was included in the squad for the 1995 Copa América. In total, he earned six caps for his country.
