Real Betis name their new Manager

Gabriel Calderon has been named as the new coach of Real Betis after the club sacked Juan Carlos Garrido. The 5-0 loss at home turned out to be the last game for Garrido who only took charge at the club a mere five weeks ago.

Now the 53 year old Argentine who has previously managed in France, Switzerland and the Middle East takes charge of the club.


Calderon also played for the club between 1983 and 1987, making 74 club appearances.


Speaking to reporters, the new Betis manager said,


“This has always been my dream. When a delicate situation like this arises, everyone has to come together.


“When a loved one is sick, you have to pull together. I come here with hope, and the belief that we can do well.”
