HISTORY

With the intention of improving on previous results, the club agreed to hire a coach with extensive experience, with Luis Aragonés being considered the most suitable for the job. He coached the team in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons. In the first year they finished a respectable sixth, while in his second season they finished fifth, which, together with the goal scored by Deportivo Alfredo, gave them a place in the UEFA Cup.

For the 1992/93 season, the club made a major effort and brought in the Argentinian coach, who had won the World Cup in 1986 and had been runner-up at Italy 90. He signed Simeone and fought to bring in the best player in the world, Diego Maradona, a challenge that he also managed to achieve. Despite the good squad, the team finished seventh. He returned to the club in the 1996/97 season to replace Camacho, but resigned after two months when he realised that he was not able to put the team back on track.

A former Sevilla FC player in the 1970s, the Uruguayan was coach in 1991/92 and then in 1995/96. The start of his first season was good, but as the matchdays went by the team slumped to the twelfth place in which they ended the championship. The most positive aspect of the campaign was Davor Suker's debut on matchday 10. In January 1996 he was called up to replace Juan Carlos Álvarez, who in turn was replacing Toni Oliveira.

The Chilean coach joined Sevilla FC from Valladolid, where he had had a great season and had earned a reputation as a straight and strict coach. He coached the team in the 89/90 and 90/91 seasons. His first season was erratic, but the board of directors trusted him and renewed him for two more years. After the renewal, the team showed an improvement and had a good season, finishing sixth in the league, with Polster scoring a record 33 goals. The following season the team finished an honourable eighth, but the Chilean resigned for the remaining season of his contract due to disagreements with some of the directors.

A home-grown coach, he was a player in the youth teams and Sevilla Atlético. The club gave him the opportunity hoping that what had happened with other interim coaches would happen, but after six games, and not having achieved the desired results, he was replaced by the Argentinian coach Roque Olsen, who was living in Seville at the time.
