Like many other Sevilla FC coaches, he first represented Sevilla as a player. He coached Sevilla Atlético when he replaced Happel on the bench. At the beginning he brought a slight improvement to the team and under his guidance Yiyi and Montero were promoted to the first team, but over time the situation did not improve and the club decided to put Enrique Buqué in charge of the squad.

In the 1973-74 season, this Austrian coach arrived with a great reputation due to the achievements of his previous teams. He was unlucky, his strong character did not take root among the staff, nor did he empathise with the management, which was an obstacle to his survival when the good results stopped coming. His replacement was Santos Bedoya.

Sevilla FC faced the 1972/73 season in the Second Division. The club had placed its trust in Juan Arza, who had taken the reins of the team for the first time since the start of the season. He was unlucky and had to be replaced by Salvador Artigas, who obtained magnificent results in home matches, but found it more difficult in away games. They finished in fourth position, which left the team with no chance of promotion to the First Division.

The English coach arrived at Sevilla FC to try to save them from relegation with ten games to go, but was unsuccessful. The slump that the team had taken under Dan Georgiadis proved to be an irreversible obstacle. Buckingham did not remain at the club and was replaced by Salvador Artigas.

This former Sevilla player managed Sevilla Atlético after hanging up his boots. He subsequently took charge of the first team on an interim basis for one matchday, just in the interim period between the departure of Georgiadis, with whom he was assistant coach, and the arrival of Vic Buckingham.

In contrast to Merkel, the Greek coach did not attach so much importance to physical preparation. The team had a very good first half of the season in the league, where they delighted the fans with their attractive football, but in the second half of the season the players suffered from fatigue and finished in sixteenth place, and were relegated again to the second division. Georgiadis was replaced by Guillamón, who managed the team for one day until the arrival of Vic Buckingham.

The Austrian coach was known as Mister Whip because of the harshness of the training sessions to which the squad was subjected. His translator and interpreter was the incomparable José María Negrillo. Merkel introduced in Spain the method of warming up on the pitch half an hour before matches. His first season was very good, reaching third place. The second was more discreet, being knocked out of the Fairs Cup by Turkish side Eskisehirspor. He was replaced by Diego Villalonga on the last matchday due to the unrest caused by the news that he had a pre-contract signed with Atlético de Madrid.

The excellent Sevilla right back earned the nickname of "lifeguard" in his role as coach, as on four occasions he took charge of the team in adverse circumstances, and on almost all of them he managed to save the team from relegation. He only completed the entire 1968/69 season as coach, achieving promotion to the First Division.

He replaced first Eizaguirre, then Barinaga, and also Antonio Barrios, but on this occasion, when he was called in, it was too late and the team was relegated. He suffered the sale of three great players: Ruiz Sosa to Atlético de Madrid, Gallego to Barcelona and Marcelo Campanal to Deportivo de la Coruña. He was coach at the time when Pedro Berruezo tragically died after collapsing on the pitch.

He arrived at the club in 1966. Elimination from the Fairs Cup and a 13th place finish in the league (a relegation promotion place) cost him his job in what was his first season. Juan Arza took over the reins again.

With the intention of aiming higher, Sevilla FC hired the former goalkeeper from Guipuzcoa, but he was unable to get the team back on track, having to be replaced five games before the end of the championship by Juan Arza.
