He has been president of the Cooperativa Expresos Viña and the Higher Transport Council of the Valparaíso Region.
In 1992, he became president of the Santiago Wanderers, the oldest professional club of the Chilean football in which he was a member from 1976 to 2001.
Although he was replaced by Nelson Acosta −historical Uruguayan−Chilean coach[a]− the Chilean team failed to reverse its poor results.
By the other hand, among his successful ponints was the creation of the Canal del Fútbol (CDF) in 2003 as well as to obtain in 2006 the organization of the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
Similarly, his successor in the ANFP, Harold Mayne-Nicholls, accused him of having left a deficit of US$1.7 billion in the association, a complaint that was denied by Sánchez, who defended his period claiming to have paid all the debts he received from Bauzá's administration.
