Vicente Sánchez

Vicente Martín Sánchez Bragunde (Spanish pronunciation: [biˈsente ˈsantʃes]; born 7 December 1979) is a former Uruguayan professional footballer who played as a winger and is currently the manager of Cruz Azul U23 and interim manager of Liga MX club Cruz Azul.

[5] Even with his playing time being carefully managed and his appearances limited to substitutions in the last half of most games, Sánchez was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster 2015 season.

Despite being a crowd favorite with the Colorado Rapids fans and the #2 scorer for the team, Sánchez's 2016 contract option was declined as the Colorado Rapids front office set out to acquire new talent in the form of players such as Marco Pappa, Shkëlzen Gashi, Jermaine Jones and Tim Howard.

He joined his hometown club Defensor Sporting for the 2016 Primera Division Clausura season and helped his team finish fourth, qualifying for the 2017 Copa Sudamericana.

[6] On 2 April 2021, it was announced that Sánchez would come out of retirement to play and coach for USL Championship side Rio Grande Valley FC.
