Concepción Sánchez-Freire (Conchi Amancio) (born 28 September 1957) is a Spanish International, former football striker. She played for most of her career in Italy, winning seven national championships and 8 Italian Cups with Gamma 3 Padova, ACF Valdobbiadene, SS Lazio and GB Campania.[1] She also played one year for Arsenal LFC in the FA Women's Premier League, after which she ended her career at 39.
Concepcion Sánchez also known as Conchi Amancio, was the first captain of the Spain national team,[2] following the foundation of the official Spain women's team in 1972.[3]
She preferred to shorten her name to "Conchi" and was nicknamed "Amancio" after the male footballer Amancio Amaro.[4]
She was a coach at Filton College, a women's football academy in Bristol[5] that merged with English team Bristol City W.F.C. ahead of them entering the Women's Super League[6] – Bristol knocked Barcelona out of the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League.[7]
