Managerial history

Gorosito started his managerial career at Nueva Chicago in 2003, avoiding relegation with the side in the play-offs. He was subsequently appointed at San Lorenzo de Almagro, but was sacked in 2004 after a poor run of results.

In 2005, Gorosito was named Lanús manager, but his reign only lasted two months. He was appointed at the helm of Rosario Central in the following year, being relieved from his duties in March 2007.

In 2008, Gorosito guided Argentinos Juniors to a qualification for that year's Copa Sudamericana, the club's first international tournament since 1996 Supercopa Sudamericana. Appointed by River Plate on 8 December 2008, he resigned on 4 October 2009 after underachieving in both Copa Libertadores and Primera División.{{cite web|url=http://www.marca.com/2009/10/04/futbol/futbol_internacional/1254692932.html|title=Gorosito dimite como técnico de River tras perder contra San Lorenzo|trans-title=Gorosito quits as River manager after losing against San Lorenzo|work=Marca|language=es|date=4 October 2009|access-date=23 December 2015}}

On 19 January 2010, Gorosito was named Xerez CD manager, with the side being dead last in La Liga.{{cite web|url=http://www.marca.com/2010/01/19/futbol/equipos/xerez/1263921302.html|title=El 'Pipo' Gorosito se hace cargo del Xerez|trans-title='Pipo' Gorosito takes charge of Xerez|work=Marca|language=es|access-date=23 December 2015}} Despite suffering relegation, he achieved seven wins out of 19 matches, but left the club in July after failing to agree a new deal.{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD03/PUB/2010/07/15/EMD20100715026MDP.pdf|title=No hay acuerdo Xerez-Gorosito|trans-title=No deal between Xerez-Gorosito|work=Mundo Deportivo|language=es|date=15 July 2010|access-date=23 December 2015}}

In September 2011, Gorosito returned to Argentinos Juniors, but resigned on 28 February of the following year, after suffering intestinal damage and a fractured vertebra in a car crash hours before his team lost against San Lorenzo.{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1028634/nestor-gorosito-resigns-from-argentinos-after-car-crash?cc=5739|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130102192611/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1028634/nestor-gorosito-resigns-from-argentinos-after-car-crash?cc=5739|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 January 2013|title=Néstor Gorosito resigns from Argentinos after car crash|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|access-date=23 December 2015}} On 23 October 2012 he was appointed manager of Tigre.

Gorosito took Tigre to the final of 2012 Copa Sudamericana, but stepped down from his role on 6 July 2013 after having altercations with the club's board. In October 2014, he returned to Argentinos, taking the club back to the first division at first attempt.

On 23 December 2015, Gorosito was appointed manager of UD Almería, ranked last in Segunda División.{{cite web|url=http://www.udalmeriasad.com/noticia/nestor-gorosito-se-convierte-en-el-nuevo-entrenador-del-almeria|title=Néstor Gorosito se convierte en el nuevo entrenador del Almería|trans-title=Néstor Gorosito becomes the new manager of Almería|publisher=Almería's official website|language=es|date=23 December 2015|access-date=23 December 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223191002/http://www.udalmeriasad.com/noticia/nestor-gorosito-se-convierte-en-el-nuevo-entrenador-del-almeria|archive-date=23 December 2015}} On 16 May of the following year, he was sacked after his side was still in the relegation zone.{{cite web|url=http://www.udalmeriasad.com/noticia/nestor-gorosito-es-cesado-de-su-cargo-como-entrenador-del-almeria|title=Néstor Gorosito es cesado de su cargo como entrenador del Almería|trans-title=Néstor Gorosito is sacked from his post as Almería manager|publisher=Almería's official website|language=es|date=16 May 2016|access-date=17 May 2016}}
