Francisco will lead Sanse for the last time this Saturday in their match against Unionistas de Salamanca, and next week he will begin planning the next season with the Basque club's football management.
As a player, he went through Easo, Juvenil A, and Sanse, until making his debut in the first team in 2000, where he played five matches as a professional. He then had an extensive career as a coach within the txuri urdin club.
"Sergio Francisco will be the first team coach," said the club's statement.
"His coaching career began at Easo in 2014. He moved to Berio FT as assistant coach to take charge of our third team in the 2017/18 season. After five seasons leading Real C, a team he promoted to the Second RFEF, Sergio became the coach of Sanse, which he has led for the last three seasons, doing a brilliant job. Now he has the opportunity and responsibility to take the reins of the first team.
Iosu Rivas, who was serving as the assistant coach of the reserve team, will take charge of Sanse until the end of the current season.

Spain-Portugal final more than just Cristiano vs Yamal says Ronaldo
Portugal veteran Cristiano Ronaldo (L) will face off against Spain's Lamine Yamal (R) in the Nations League final on Sunday (Tobias SCHWARZ) Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo acknowledged he was "another generation" to Spain starlet Lamine Yamal but said Sunday's Nations League final was more than just a battle between the duo. The final in Munich has been framed as a showdown between veteran Ronaldo, 40, one of the game's biggest names, and 17-year-old Yamal, the most exciting young talent in world football. Advertisement Ronaldo scored the winner to send Portugal past Germany into the final and Yamal was named man-of-the-match after bagging a brace in Spain's wild 5-4 semi-final win over France. Ronaldo however said the focus on the two individuals was overblown, calling Spain "maybe the best national team in the world". "There are different generations, one is coming in and another is exiting the stage. If you want to see me as another generation, then that's OK. "When you talk about a clash between Cristiano and someone else, that's not how it works. The media always try to hype things up, which is a normal thing, but it's one team versus another team." Advertisement "You've been talking about Lamine a lot and you're right to do so because he's very good," Ronaldo told journalists, adding "but I'd like to talk about the team. "They've got Nico Williams, great midfielders like Pedri and their coach (Luis) de la Fuente is very good, very strong, very disciplined." - 'Funny hair' - Portugal last beat their Iberian neighbours in a competitive fixture in 21 years ago at Euro 2024, a match which Ronaldo started. Like Yamal, Ronaldo burst onto the scene at a young age. Aged just 18, Ronaldo impressed so much for boyhood side Sporting in a 3-1 win over Manchester United in a friendly in Lisbon that the English club decided to buy him, bringing him to Old Trafford less than a week later. Advertisement Like a young Ronaldo, Yamal has consistently impressed since bursting onto the scene, winning a league and cup double with Barcelona this season after lifting the Euro 2024 title in Germany last summer. The Portuguese veteran asked media to allow the teenager to grow and improve without pressure, reminding them the Spanish star "with funny hair" was just "three years older than my son". "The kid has been doing very well, but what I ask is for you to let him grow, not put him under pressure. For the good of football, we need to let him grow in his own way and enjoy the talent he has." Both Spain and Portugal have already won the Nations League. Spain are the current champions from their win in 2023, while Portugal won the inaugural tournament back in 2019. dwi/ea
