Pablo Andrés Sánchez (born 3 January 1973 in Rosario, Santa Fe) is an Argentine retired professional footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current manager for Chilean first division club O'Higgins.
During his 13-year professional career, spent in four different countries, he was nicknamed Vitamina.
Playing career
Sánchez started playing for Rosario Central, before moving to Feyenoord in 1996. In arguably the best season of his career, he netted 16 Eredivisie goals in his first year, good enough for a final runner-up place to the Rotterdam side. Later he represented, briefly, Deportivo Alavés in Spain, and Belgium's RC Harelbeke.
In 1999 Sánchez returned home, first with Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, then with his favorite club, Rosario. After eventually being told by veteran coach Ángel Zof he was not needed, he signed with Quilmes Atlético Club, but he suffered a serious shoulder injury shortly after, having to retire from the sport at 32.
Managerial career
Sánchez began his football managerial career at Club Atlético Banfield, helping the team avoid Primera División relegation. He also managed Rosario Central for nine games, until he was fired on 6 October 2008.[1]
In February 2009, Vitamina agreed to take charge of Bolivian first division club Oriente Petrolero,[2] but resigned from his duties in early October of that year.[3] In December 2012 Sanchez took charge of Chilean club C.D. Universidad de Concepción.[4]
