Freddy Santos Ternero Corrales was a Peruvian association football player, coach and local politician, born in 1962 and dead in 2015. As a player he turned out for several Peruvian clubs, most notably Universitario de Deportes. He then moved into coaching, starting as assistant to Sergio Markarian at Universitario. His first job as head coach came in 1994 at Cienciano, which he helped avoid relegation, and in 1995 he also spent time with Alianza Atlético.
