Angel Alfredo Vera (born 18 August 1972 in Argentina) is an Argentinean professional football coach and former player.
He holds an Argentine Football Association 'A' Level Coaching License.
However, his license was questioned by the Football Association of Indonesia as rules prescribe that a coach of a highest-division club must have a license equal to an AFC 'A' License.
In response, he exemplified that the Malaysian Football Association did not question fellow Argentinean Mario Gómez who was in charge of Johor Darul Ta'Zim F.C.
in 2016.
In the end, he was dismissed from the five-time champions of the Indonesian top division due to this.Afterwards, the manager was declared head coach of Persebaya Surabaya in mid season (after Iwan Setiawan was fired) with the aim to get them promoted to the Liga 1 just like he did with Persipura Jayapura.
His achievements with Persipura and his mid-season appointment as coach of Persebaya made him be known as'a mid-season coaching specialist'.
