Helenio Herrera

The controversial and eccentric Spanish-Argentine coach began his tenure at the helm of Sevilla FC in 1953/54 and finished his tenure in 1956/57. He achieved a runner-up finish in the league and another in the cup, with the team finishing fifth in his first season. In the second and third seasons, his side finished fourth and then second in the season which marked his farewell. The runner-up finish in La Liga helped the team qualify for the European Cup.
