Carlos Sánchez, affectionately known as 'La Roca,' is set to depart from his role as sports director at San Lorenzo at the end of February. This decision was reached by the club's provisional administration, which has chosen not to extend his contract as it approaches its expiration date. The club's leadership clarified that this is not a dismissal but rather a natural conclusion of his tenure, raising questions about whether a replacement will be appointed for this vital position in the club.

Sánchez's tenure at San Lorenzo began a little over a year ago under the administration of Marcelo Moretti, and he was formally informed of the decision by Sergio Costantino, who currently heads the temporary institutional management. His departure comes as the club introspects on its future direction amidst their ongoing challenges, and the timing of his exit is critical as it overlaps with tensions and transitions within the organization.

As Sánchez prepares to say farewell to the players and coaching staff with whom he has formed close bonds, his role has been particularly significant during periods of heightened institutional pressure. The management changes at San Lorenzo reflect broader themes of instability and the need for strategic leadership in Argentine football, especially as the club navigates a challenging landscape and seeks to regain both competitive and financial stability in the coming months.
