Adan Manzano, a talented broadcast journalist, was in New Orleans covering Super Bowl LIV for both Telemundo Kansas City and Tico Sports.
He lived and breathed sports, pouring his heart into covering both the games and his community with unmatched dedication.
The excitement of being part of a historic Super Bowl, especially with The Kansas City Chiefs striving to three-peat, was a dream come true for him. As Telemundo Kansas City’s only journalist in New Orleans, he embodied what it meant to be fully invested in his work.
This was his third straight year covering the Super Bowl, having previously worked in the broadcast booth. In 2024, he was promoted to sideline reporter, a moment he couldn’t have imagined happening so quickly. ”I used to dream about this, but I never expected it would come so soon. It’s just a blessing,” he shared.
