Coaching career

Lenci started his coaching career in 2008, when he became the assistant coach of Claudio Borghi at Independiente.[2] He left the club with Borghi in the beginning of October 2008. He followed Borghi to Argentinos Juniors (2009-2010) and a brief stint at Boca Juniors (2010).[3]

Later when Borghi was hired to be a coach for the Chile national team, Lenci decided to stay in Argentina. Here he was contacted by Martín Palermo, who had recently retired as a professional footballer and later began his coaching career at Godoy Cruz on 28 November 2012, with Lenci as his assistant.[4] They left the club at the end of 2013. On 16 April 2014, he followed Palermo to Arsenal de Sarandí, still as his assistant.[5] They left the club exactly one year later in April 2015.

In 2015, he worked as assistant of Arturo Norambuena in Cobresal.[6] At the end of 2016, on 1 November, Lenci joined Chilean club Universidad de Concepción as an assistant coach of Francisco Bozán.[3] However, Lenci left his position at the club in the beginning of January 2019.[7] A few days later, his former collaborator, Martín Palermo, once again as his assistant coach, this time at Mexican club Pachuca.[8] They lasted until the end of 2019.

In February 2020, Lenci once again joined Francisco Bozán's coaching staff at Deportes La Serena as an assistant coach.[3] After Bozán was fired, Lenci stayed at the club, still as an assistant coach, however, under the new manager Miguel Ponce.
