Enrique "Quique" Sánchez Flores (Spanish pronunciation:[ˈkikeˈsantʃeθˈfloɾes]; born 5 February 1965) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a right-back.
He began his professional career with Valencia in 1984, going on to amass La Liga totals of 304 games and 16 goals over 12 seasons and also appearing for Real Madrid and Zaragoza in the competition, retiring in 1997. Internationally, he represented Spain at under-18, under-21 and under-23 levels, appearing with the senior side at the 1990 World Cup.
In 2001, Flores began his managerial career when he took charge of Real Madrid's youth team. His first senior post came in 2004, with Getafe, and he also managed Valencia, Atlético Madrid – where he won the 2010 Europa League – and Espanyol in the top division. Abroad, he had spells at Benfica in the Primeira Liga and Watford (twice) in the Premier League, as well as stints in the United Arab Emirates and China.
Playing career
Born in Madrid, Flores spent his first ten years as a senior with Valencia, starting in 1984–85. The club was relegated in his second season, and when it returned to La Liga in the 1987–88 campaign, finished 14th. However, from that point until 1994 the team never ranked lower than seventh, with him as first-choice.[2]
Flores moved to Real Madrid in summer 1994 on a four-year contract, and stayed with the capital side for two seasons, winning the league title in the first one[3] but being deemed surplus to requirements early into the 1996 preseason after complaining to newly-arrived manager Fabio Capello of toenail pains.[4] Subsequently, he had a brief spell with Real Zaragoza, retiring from professional football at the age of 32 with Spanish top flight totals of 304 games and 16 goals;[5] in his only season in the Segunda División, as Valencia won the championship, he posted career-highs with 40 matches and nine goals.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Flores began his coaching career in 2001 by taking charge of Real Madrid's youth teams. After earning plaudits during his three seasons with the youth teams, he caught the eye of the newly promoted Getafe, also in Madrid.[16]
Valencia
After the 2004–05 campaign with Getafe, in which they finished in 13th place, Flores was given the opportunity to coach his former club Valencia, succeeding Claudio Ranieri.[17] In his first year, he guided them to third place and thus qualified for the UEFA Champions League where the team went on to reach the quarter-finals, being knocked out by Chelsea.[18]
In May 2007, the Che achieved a top-four league finish and consequently a place in the next Champions League. On 29 October, however, the board of directors dismissed Flores after a string of poor results.[19]
On 28 September 2013, only three months after leaving the country, Flores returned to the United Arab Emirates, being appointed at Al Ain.[31] However, his tenure was brief, as he was dismissed on 8 March 2014 due to poor results.[32]
Return to Getafe
After nearly nine months without a club, Flores returned to Getafe on 5 January 2015 to succeed Cosmin Contra as the new manager, following the latter's departure to China.[33] His first match in charge took place two days later, and it ended with a 1–1 away draw against Almería in the domestic cup;[34] on 26 February, however, citing personal reasons, he resigned.[35]
However, despite going on to lead the team to a comfortable mid-table position and the semi-finals of the FA Cup, it was announced on 13 May 2016 that Flores would be leaving at the end of the season.[38]
Espanyol
On 9 June 2016, Flores returned to Spain, signing a three-year deal to replace Constantin Gâlcă as manager of Espanyol.[39] His second signing was José Antonio Reyes, with whom he had previously worked at Benfica and Atlético.[40]
Flores was dismissed on 20 April 2018, after achieving poor results towards the end of the season.[41] In July, he was on a four-man shortlist for the vacant Egyptian national team manager job.[42]
Shanghai Shenhua
On 25 December 2018, Flores was appointed as manager of Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.[43] The following July, he left.[44]
Return to Watford
Flores returned to Watford on 7 September 2019, replacing his compatriot Javi Gracia who was dismissed the same day.[45] His team completed a comeback from 2–0 down to draw 2–2 with Arsenal at Vicarage Road in his first game back on 15 September.[46] However, one week later, they were defeated 8–0 at the City of Manchester Stadium by Manchester City, with the opposition scoring five goals in the first 15 minutes for their biggest ever Premier League win.[47]
On 30 November 2019, Watford went away to Southampton and lost 2–1. The next day, Flores was sacked after securing only a single victory in his second stint in charge.[48]
Third Getafe spell
On 6 October 2021, Flores was presented as Getafe manager for the third time, after Míchel was dismissed for not winning any of the first eight games of the season.[49] His team were eliminated from the second round of the Spanish Cup on 16 December with a 5–0 loss at Atlético Baleares of the Primera Federación,[50] but seventeen days later achieved the first victory over Real Madrid in nearly nine years with a lone goal by Enes Ünal.[51]
Flores' side finished 15th in his first campaign back.[52] On 27 April 2023, he was relieved of his duties as they fought relegation with seven matches remaining, and was replaced by another returnee, José Bordalás.[53]
During a match at Getafe on 30 March 2024, Sánchez Flores, of Spanish Gypsy ancestry, was the victim of racist abuse from behind the coaches' benches. As a result of chants against Marcos Acuña in the same game, the hosts were ordered to close sections of their stadium for three matches and fined. However, as the insults against the manager were not mentioned in the referee's report, no action was taken with regards to them.[57]
On 18 May 2024, having secured survival, Sánchez Flores announced he would be leaving the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium on 30 June.[58]
Personal life
Flores is the nephew of flamenco singer and dancer Lola Flores.[59] His father, Isidro, was also a footballer and a defender,[60] and Alfredo Di Stéfano was his godfather.[61] His brother and son, named Isidro and Enrique respectively, played football at lower levels.[62][63]
