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.
The Argentinian coach achieved promotion in the 1974/75 season, being the second highest scoring and the lowest conceding team. He used many home-grown players for this achievement. His second season in the First Division saw the team finish in eleventh place. In the 1988/89 season, he returned to the Sevilla bench to replace Pepe Ortega, who had in turn replaced Javier Azkargorta. He finished the league in ninth place.
He was technical secretary when the board decided to change course because they saw the possibility of promotion as far out of reach. Not only did the situation not improve, but the club ended up being involved in a possible relegation battle to the Third Division. This was finally avoided by winning convincingly in Linares. He was replaced the following season by Roque Olsen.
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.
