HISTORY

The Basque coach from Real Valladolid took over from Jock Wallace. Like his predecessor, he failed to raise the team to a higher position in his first season, perhaps due to the late arrival of reinforcements. In the following season he started with good results, but with the arrival of Dassaev, the team went downhill and Pepe Ortega had to replace him.

A member of the Scottish Football Hall of Fame since 2016, Jock Wallace was manager of Sevilla FC in the 1986/87 season, where he managed to finish ninth. He was sacked in pre-season the following season. His legacy was a strong commitment to the youth academy, with players such as Choya, Ramón and Rafa Paz regularly involved.

Cardo spent five seasons in charge of the first team, from 1981/82 to 1985/86. Before that, he had coached the youth teams of Sevilla FC and Sevilla Atlético. His first match as coach was a resounding success when he won 1-4 at La Romareda, with four goals from Pintinho and Francisco's debut. When he took over, he found the team in second-to-last position, but managed to turn the situation around and finish seventh, which meant they could play in the UEFA Cup the following season. The following season, the team continued its upward trend and fifth place was another year in which they were able to qualify for European competition. The following seasons the team occupied mid-table positions, and in 1986 Cardo was forced to leave the club due to a disagreement with some of the club's directors.

The award-winning coach from Madrid took charge of the team for two and a half seasons, from September 1979 to December 1981. Miguel Muñoz greatly improved the team's play and signed the great Brazilian midfielder Pintinho. He managed to place the club in eighth position in his first two seasons, in the third he had to be replaced by Manolo Cardo.

The Galician was at the helm of Sevilla FC for three seasons, from 1976 to 1979. Despite his colossal effort, he did not manage to join the pack of teams at the top of the table. He finished tenth in his first season, eighth in his second and eleventh in his last. He was taken over by Miguel Muñoz.
