Playing career
Sánchez was born in Murcia. After stints with Atlético Madrid's C and B teams and Segunda División side CD Badajoz, he joined Real Valladolid in 2002, where he was regularly used as a defensive backup.[1] He made his La Liga debut on 28 September 2002, playing three minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Real Madrid.[2]
Sánchez helped Valladolid to achieve top-flight promotion in the 2006–07 season,[3] participating in 21 league matches (1,262 minutes) the following campaign. After seven years of relative use, he signed for hometown club Real Murcia CF on a free transfer,[4] appearing in less than half of the games in his first year as his team suffered relegation from the second tier but being first-choice in the following in an immediate promotion.[1]
On 22 October 2011, Sánchez scored a brace in a 3–1 home win against Villarreal CF B.[5] He scored a career-best seven goals that season, helping Murcia to narrowly escape relegation.[6] [7]
Coaching career
After retiring at the age of 34, Sánchez was assistant manager in several teams under José Manuel Aira;[8] [9] at Murcia, he was second-in-command to both Aira and Vicente Mir.[10] For a brief period of time, he also worked as that club's director of football.[11]
