HISTORY

The coach from Toledo took over the reins of the team in the 1941-1942 season, but was unable to finish the season due to illness with only two games left and in sixth position. Pepe Brand would be in charge of closing the football season started by Victoriano de Santos, who would die months later. In 1944, Sevilla FC organised a charity match in his honour, with the proceeds going to the family of the coach from La Mancha.

A Sevilla FC player since he was a child, he coached the team between 1938 and 1942. His successes included two Andalusian Cups and the Spanish Championship in 1939. In the 1939/40 season he led Sevilla FC to the runners-up spot in the Spanish League. In the 1941/42 season he replaced Victoriano Santos when the latter fell ill.

An ex-player from Alicante , he joined the club from Sporting Club de Madrid. He managed the team in the Second Division between 1930 and 1933. The results obtained were not enough to win promotion to the top flight, but he managed to win the Andalusian championship on two occasions.

In 1928, after spells on the bench at Real Sociedad and Athletic Club, the Hungarian coach arrived at Sevilla FC. He remained at the club for two seasons, twice winning the Andalusian championship and topping the Second Division in the 1928/29 season, but failing to win promotion after losing the promotion play-off against Racing Santander.

He was manager and coach of Sevilla FC in three periods: from 1925 to 1928, from 1933 to 1936 and from 1945 to 1947. He won three Andalusian Cups, a Second Division Championship that led to promotion to the top flight, a Spanish Championship in 1935 and a League in 1946, the only one that Sevilla FC has won to date. He later held the post of technical secretary. His role was crucial to the Club's history.
