The club from Sant Boi de Llobregat has announced the hiring of Ricardo "Guata" Cortés as the new coach of the men's first team for the 2026-2027 season. The Chilean coach was a key figure in the qualification of Los Cóndores for the 2023 World Cup.
UE Santboiana has entrusted its sports project to Ricardo "Guata" Cortés, a Chilean coach with a recognised career, who will lead the men's first team starting from the 2026-2027 season. The club from Sant Boi de Llobregat made the signing official last week, aiming to establish itself among the leading figures in Spanish rugby.
Cortés arrives at the Baldiri Aleu stadium after being part of the coaching staff of the Chilean national team, Los Cóndores, during one of its most successful cycles. His role was crucial in the historic qualification of Chile for the 2023 World Cup in France, a milestone that positioned the South American country as one of the emerging teams with the greatest international potential.
The new coach brings extensive experience both in clubs and national teams. UE Santboiana highlights his leadership ability, his demands in daily work, and his modern vision of the game, as well as his experience in player development and in top-level competitions.
With this addition, the Santboiana entity strengthens its commitment to an ambitious project that combines youth, experience, and growth aspirations. The club seeks to maintain its identity based on training and talent, with an eye on continuing to be one of the reference teams in rugby in Spain.
Ricardo "Guata" Cortés faces this new challenge with the excitement of leading a team that aims to grow in the coming seasons. The fans of Sant Boi de Llobregat eagerly await the start of the 2026-2027 season to see the Chilean coach's imprint on the pitch of Baldiri Aleu.
