The football world is in mourning at the moment. Today we woke up to the tragic news of the death of Arsenio Iglesias, at 92 years of age. He was a footballer, but more importantly, he was the coach of many teams in Spain, including Real Madrid in 1995-96.

Without a doubt, the maximum was achieved by Arsenio Iglesias, it was when he coached “Deportivo de la Coruña”. He was the coach of that team for 14 seasons, 538 games. He managed to promote the team twice, won a historic Copa del Rey and also came very close to winning La Liga.

It is said that Arsenio Iglesias was one of the best coaches, as he was the main brain of Deportivo, which would later become "Super Depor", which won a couple of league titles and reached the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, which they lost against Mourinho's Porto

His brief passage through Real Madrid:

Despite the fact that Real Madrid was the biggest team of his career, the reality is that his time with the white team was fleeting, with only 19 games. The coach arrived as an emergency, as Valdano and Del Bosque had been dismissed, and a coach was needed as soon as possible. Real Madrid was his last official team, although he later trained Galicia.
