After seven years of relative use, he signed for hometown club Real Murcia CF on a free transfer,[4] appearing in less than half of the games in his first year as his team suffered relegation from the second tier but being first-choice in the following in an immediate promotion.[1]

On 22 October 2011, Sánchez scored a brace in a 3–1 home win against Villarreal CF B.[5] He scored a career-best seven goals that season, helping Murcia to narrowly escape relegation.[6][7]

Coaching career

After retiring at the age of 34, Sánchez was assistant manager in several teams under José Manuel Aira;[8][9] at Murcia, he was second-in-command to both Aira and Vicente Mir.[10] For a brief period of time, he also worked as that club's director of football.[11]

On 17 November 2021, Sánchez was named head coach of Orihuela CF in the Tercera Federación.[12]
