Career Born in Barquisimeto, Sánchez began working at hometown side Deportivo Lara's youth sides, before moving to Peru in 2017 Cantolao, working as a consultant for their youth categories. Back to his home country in the following year, he joined the project of Fundación Lara Deportiva; initially an under-17 coach, he was promoted to the first team as an assistant of Osmar Castillo.
