Barcelona Dragons announce Gabriel Sánchez as head coach

After Andrew Weidinger left the Barcelona Dragons, the Dragons were quick to have a new guy in charge.

As the Barcelona Dragons published on Wednesday, the previous defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Gabriel Sánchez will be the new head coach of the Barcelona Dragons for the 2023 season. The Mexican could stay as Defensive Coordinator. Andrew Weidinger, the previous head coach, had parted ways with the Barcelona Dragons by mutual agreement, but announced in an Instagram message that we will soon see him again in the league. The new coach was previously active in the highest Mexican League as a defensive coordinator and position coach. It is the first head coaching position for the Mexican.

"Hopefully we can make it to the top at European level"

Bart Iaccarino, General Manager of the Barcelona Dragons, values the choice of Gabriel 'Black' Sánchez: "We are delighted to be able to continue working with him, now taking on the figure of Head Coach of the team. He has shown throughout this last season to be a coach who understands the vision of the franchise, who understands what we need, speaks the same language, an aspect that makes everything much more fluid. We are sure that it will make Dragons one of the best teams in Europe. It's a long-term project with him, like Jack Bicknell was in the past, and hopefully we can make it to the top at European level."
