The former Sevilla player took over as first team coach after the departure of Carlos Salvador Bilardo, with barely a third of the league championship still to play. Under his guidance, the team began to show signs of improvement that gave some hope of salvation, but the heavy burden inherited would make it impossible to make the longed-for comeback in the standings, dooming the club to a tragic relegation at the Carlos Tartiere stadium in Oviedo.

Back in the Second Division, Julián Rubio would begin the 1997/98 season at the helm, but after a promising start, a series of unfavourable results that took the team out of the promotion and promotion places to the top flight, would lead to the dismissal of the Albacete coach, who would be replaced by Vicente Miera.

After a meteoric start to his coaching career, José Antonio Camacho arrived at Sevilla in the summer of 1996, under the guidance of president José María González de Caldas. His exciting arrival, as well as that of a number of players to revamp the squad, did not, however, bear the desired fruit. Thus, with the team in 19th place in La Liga and eliminated from the Copa del Rey, the coach from Cieza left his post in February 1997, after losing 2-3 to Real Sociedad, in a match in which Sevilla were 2-0 up with only six minutes to go.

Following the dismissal of Toni Oliveira, president Francisco Escobar appointed the former Sevilla player as the new first team coach. During his tenure at the helm, Sevilla managed to eliminate Greek side Olympiakos in the second round of the UEFA Cup, before losing to FC Barcelona. In the league championship, after a hesitant start and a subsequent reaction from the team, a series of poor results led to his dismissal at the beginning of 1996.

Juan Carlos Álvarez would return to manage Sevilla on two more occasions during the last five years of the 20th century. During the 1997/98 season, in a final attempt to achieve promotion to the First Division, Álvarez replaced Vicente Miera, who in turn had already taken over from Julián Rubio. However, Sevilla FC would finish the championship in seventh place, far from the places that gave them the right to the great objective of promotion. Just a couple of years later, during the 1999/00 season, with Sevilla in the First Division, Juan Carlos Álvarez was once again asked by the club's board of directors to take charge of the first team, which was in the bottom half of the table. During this third and final period as first team coach, despite the efforts of the Asturian, Sevilla would remain at the bottom of the table until the end of the season, thus certifying their relegation to the Second Division.

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.

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.

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.
