1995/1996
After a successful career in his country, the Portuguese coach arrived at Sevilla FC in the summer of 1995 under the then president Luis Cuervas. With a team weighed down in sporting terms by the events following the administrative relegation to Segunda División B, poor results during the first few rounds of the league championship forced his dismissal in October of the same year, despite having progressed from the first round of the UEFA Cup against Botev Plovdiv.
