Óscar Sánchez Fuentes

Sánchez was born in Murcia. After stints with Atlético Madrid's C and B teams and Segunda División side Badajoz, he joined Real Valladolid in 2002, where he was regularly used as a defensive backup. He made his La Liga debut on 28 September 2002, playing three minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Real Madrid. Sánchez helped Valladolid to achieve top-flight promotion in the 2006–07 season, participating in 21 league matches (1,262 minutes) the following campaign. After seven years, he signed for hometown club Real Murcia on a free transfer, 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 next in an immediate promotion. On 22 October 2011, Sánchez scored a brace in a 3–1 home win over Villarreal B. He netted a career-best seven goals that season, helping Murcia to narrowly escape relegation.

After retiring at the age of 34, Sánchez was assistant manager in several teams under José Manuel Aira; at Murcia, he was second-in-command to both Aira and Vicente Mir. For a brief period of time, he also worked as that club's director of football. On 17 November 2021, Sánchez was named head coach of Orihuela in the Tercera División RFEF. He led the side to promotion to Segunda Federación in 2023, but was dismissed on 11 December of that year. Sánchez was subsequently in charge of Valencia's youth and senior reserve teams. On 13 September 2026, he was appointed caretaker manager of the main squad following the sacking of Carlos Corberán. Two days later, on his debut, he oversaw a 1–0 away victory against Alavés.
