Fernandez leaves "Betis" © EuroFootball.com

The head coach of the Spanish club Sevilla, Victor Fernandez, confirmed to journalists that he will leave his current club this summer and assured that he "made this decision a long time ago." "Betis" had a disappointing season - finishing in 9th place, they did not secure a spot in any of the European tournaments. The season ended with a 3-2 victory against "Malaga." Fernandez took over as the head coach of "Betis" in June 2002. Prior to that, he coached the Vigo "Celta" team for a while. His arrival as a coach was met with high hopes, but Fernandez did not live up to them. "This season was very difficult for me," said the 43-year-old Spaniard. "I had already decided a long time ago that my path would diverge from 'Betis.' There were many ups and downs this season, and I did not enjoy it." Fernandez, considered one of the most talented coaches in Spain, was mentioned as a candidate to replace Carlos Queiroz at the helm of "Real," but today the royal club announced that Jose Antonio Camacho will coach the team next year. This news should please "Betis" defender Denilson, who has recently been in conflict with the coach, and it was believed that the player might have to leave the club.
