Ramos leaves Sevilla post
27 January 2007
Ramos, who has been heavily linked with the vacant managerial position at White Hart Lane following the dismissal of Martin Jol on Thursday night, handed in the relevant paperwork to the Primera Liga club on Friday night.Sevilla physical trainer Marcos Alvarez also tendered his resignation at the same time.
A statement on the official Sevilla website read: "Juande Ramos appeared on the third floor of the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan (stadium) to present a document in which he asked for his contract to be rescinded under clause 1006/85 at 22.35pm (local time).
"Ramos was accompanied by his physical trainer Marcos Alvarez, who presented the same document to the general director of the club, Jose Maria Cruz, in the presence of Ramon Rodriguez Monchi, the club's sporting director.
"The now ex-Sevilla coach declined the possibility of giving a press conference at the club's training facilities and has chosen his website www.juanderamos.com as a means of saying goodbye to Sevilla FC."
Shortly before the announcement, Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido had sent an official message to the Primera Liga club's supporters where he appeared resigned to losing Ramos.
"In these moments of concern, in which the events are no doubt going to cause damage to Sevilla FC, (I wanted to) send you a message of calm because with 102 years of history, whichever unilateral decisions are taken, we will know how to make the necessary decisions to be able to move forward," the statement said.
"Sevilla is a great club because it has grown more than anybody else in Spain has done in the last few years.
"Whatever happens on the first team bench, when events come to a head in the coming minutes, as they look like they will, we will be able to hold our head high because the only important thing is the badge, the flag and the fans. This is the message which today is more alive than ever."
