Sevilla FC presented a jersey bearing Luis de la Fuente’s name and number 11 to the coach during his visit to San Mamés. The gift was given in the presence of the club’s president and was a gesture of recognition for Spain’s second World Cup title.
Gift Presentation
The club of Nervión, in the hands of its president, handed the gift to the national coach. Luis de la Fuente, closely linked to Sevilla FC and the city of Seville throughout his sporting career, received the jersey with his name and number 11.
Visit to San Mamés
During the visit to San Mamés, the stadium honored three World Cup champions: Unai Simón, Laporte and Nico Williams. Sevilla FC, still enjoying the six points earned in the first two league rounds, used the match to show its support for the coach who led Spain to the second star.
Upcoming Match at Ramón Sánchez‑Pizjuán
De la Fuente and the Spanish national team will receive a special tribute at Ramón Sánchez‑Pizjuán with the official competitive match that will be played at the Nervión arena in September. It will be the first time Spain displays its second star on home soil, and it will also be a moment for Sevilla FC to open its arms to the World Cup champions.
Reinforcement Needs
Although the market remains open and the squad has evident needs for reinforcements, García Plaza’s men have secured a full squad that offers some peace for what lies ahead. Three to four reinforcements are expected, always at the expense of players the club sells and the sporting director places in the last week.
Youth at Sevilla
Sevilla FC has young players such as Miguel Sierra or Nico Guillén, who have taken prominence in the team at the start of the season, given the low number of professional contracts the Sevilla coach has.
