Joan Sanchez, “Ready” for the Challenge at Hospi
The former assistant coach of Hector Simon steps up after his departure: “The demand is positive,” he said at his presentation Sanchez was accompanied by president Santi Balleste and technical secretary Alex Hermida: “He will demonstrate a good level” CE L’Hospitalet is one of the clubs that has changed its coach for the 2023/24 season. After the departure of Hèctor Simon, who led the team to the playoffs, his former assistant, Joan Sanchez, takes the reins. At his presentation, more than a month after being announced, he showed great enthusiasm. Sanchez believes that “Tercera this year will be very competitive” because “there are many teams that are doing things well, both on the field and economically.” He is confident of a good start, something that didn’t happen last year and hindered the chances of direct promotion, which is now the main objective.
“I feel prepared. I don’t see the demand as something negative, it’s positive, that context helps me. It’s an unbeatable opportunity, and I’m very grateful,” said the young coach from Terrades.
The new coach was accompanied by president Santi Balleste and technical secretary Alex Hermida. “I am sure he will demonstrate a good level, despite the pressure, from the start, of being at a club like Hospi,” said the club’s president.
Meanwhile, Hermida justified the appointment of Joan Sanchez because “we are looking for maximum continuity both in the technical staff and in the players. We have managed to renew a very important core of last season’s squad.” Diego Quintero, who was also part of the coaching staff until now, will be his assistant coach.
