'''Aureliano Torres Román''' (born 16 June 1982) is a Paraguayan football manager and former player who played as a left-back. He is the current manager of Olimpia's Main Team.
At club level, Torres achieved the 2002 Emperor's Cup in Japan, the Torneo Clausura of the 2006–07 Argentine Primera División and the 2012–13 Uruguayan Primera División of Uruguay, and with Paraguay he achieved the silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics Men's tournament and runners-up of the 2011 Copa América.
