José Vicente "Tente" Sánchez Felip (born 8 October 1956) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Sánchez adjusted quickly to FC Barcelona's first team, playing four games and scoring once in the 1975–76 season whilst he was still registered with the reserve squad. From there onwards, although never an undisputed starter, he was used regularly, helping the club to three Copa del Rey and two UEFA Cup Winners' Cups; in the first final, he opened a 4–3 win against Fortuna Düsseldorf.[2]

Sánchez and Barça eventually reached another continental final, the 1985–86 European Cup, lost at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville on penalties to FC Steaua București.[3] By then, he was already a secondary player (totalling just 22 matches in his last two years, although he did contribute 13 La Liga appearances to his only title in the competition),[4][5] and left for fellow top-flight team Real Murcia in summer 1986, posting two more solid seasons.[6]

Sánchez retired in 1990 aged 33 after representing another Catalan side, CE Sabadell FC of Segunda División.[6] Later that decade, he became a players agent.[7][8][9]

International career

Sánchez earned 14 caps for the Spain national team in five years,[4] his debut coming on 4 October 1978 in a 2–1 win in Yugoslavia for the UEFA Euro 1980 qualifiers, replacing Real Madrid's Juanito – who had scored – with five minutes left.[10]

He was selected for the squad at the 1982 FIFA World Cup played in his country, and appeared in four matches as the nation exited in the second group stage.[11]
