South Orange, N.J. – Seton Hall men's soccer and head coach Andreas Lindberg have announced the addition of Edison Sanchez to the coaching staff ahead of the 2021 campaign. Sanchez will serve as an assistant coach after he served in the same role for the last three years with the Manhattan men's soccer program.
In 2019, Sanchez guided the Jaspers to a MAAC Tournament berth while helping land two players on the All-MAAC team accolades. Sanchez's impact on the staff was felt immediately when in his first year with the program in 2018, the Jaspers notched a program-record 12 wins including its first victory over a ranked opponent when Manhattan took down No. 25 Fordham on September 18.
Prior to his arrival at Manhattan, Sanchez served as the head coach for the Monroe women's soccer team. In his first season at the helm, the team finished the year ranked 16th in the United Soccer Coaches Junior College Division I Women's Poll. Sanchez led the program to a pair of wins against top-five NJCAA opponents in 2017. Sanchez also served as an assistant coach with the Monroe men's soccer program from 2014-2017 when the Mustangs made two National Championship appearances.
"Sanchez will be a great asset for our staff and players. He is hungry and enthusiastic and will bring great energy to the program," Lindberg said. "He has a great network in the local soccer community and was part of the NY Red Bulls organization as a player for many years. We are expecting him to have a big impact on our program."
Sanchez attended Monroe College in 2011, where he helped the Mustangs reach their first national championship in program history during a 14-2-1 campaign. He then transferred to Belhaven University in Jackson, MS, in 2012 and won a national championship with the Blazers in 2012. Sanchez also spent time in the New York Red Bulls organization, participating on the U-14 to U-23 teams.
