'''Pablo Mariano Granoche Louro''' (born 5 September 1983) is a Uruguayan football coach and former player, in the role of striker, currently in charge as assistant coach of FC Clivense in the Eccellenza amateur league. During his playing career, he was nicknamed ''El Diablo''.<ref name="spezia" />
