The Cantabrian took over as Sevilla first team coach from Julián Rubio after the sixth matchday of the 1997/98 Second Division championship. His appointment, however, did not achieve the expected reaction from the Nervion side, and so, after a brief period at the club, he was sacked and replaced by Juan Carlos Álvarez.

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.
