Luis Garisto Pan (3 December 1945 – 21 November 2017) was a Uruguayan football (soccer) coach who had a professional career as both player and head coach.

Career

Luis Garisto, el Loco (in English crazy), began his professional career in 1960 with Uruguayan club Defensor, known today as Defensor Sporting, and he was then transferred to Club Independiente of Argentina in Buenos Aires. He played there for several years, participating in all 5 consecutive championships with his club, 3 Libertadores cups, and 2 world club championships. Subsequently he was transferred to Peñarol of Montevideo, Uruguay. As a Captain of this squad, he obtained 2 championships. He was later signed by Club Cobreloa in Chile.
