Draco Sanchez is a Senyan football manager who is currently the manager of the Tiana national football team.
Early Life
Sanchez was born in 1974 in Moroni. In 1993 he moved to Cherry Trees in Craitland, where he became employed as an engineer, whilst also coaching junior football. In 2012 he moved back to Senya.
Career
Sanchez was announced as the manager of Politzëa in June 2012. He was sacked midway through the season after a poor run of results which saw Politzëa drop to fifth in the league.
On 9 December 2012, he was announced as the new manager and head coach of the Tiana national football team.
His first major challenge for Tiana came during qualifying for the 2013 FMF World Cup. Tiana were drawn alongside Lolland and Normark as well as four-time champions Craitland. Despite the group being tough, Sanchez guided Tiana to a respectable second place finish. That was enough to guide the Tianans to the 2013 EMU Championships where they finished bottom of their group. Later in 2013, he gained his first title as a manger, when he oversaw a 1–0 victory over his nation of birth, Senya to give Tiana their first ever competition win.
Personal life
Sanchez is married to Jenny Sanchez (née Louise), a teacher from Amokolia that he met in Cherry Trees in 1997, and married in August 2000 in a small ceremony in Cherry Trees. They have four children, Robert (born 26 February 2001), twins Jennifer and Alison (born 18 March 2003) and Alexander (born 8 November 2004).
