who are the coaches or players with the most relegations, those who consider the league glasses? Go ahead a decline, it is never a matter of one person, rather it is the result of an accumulation of errors of a group of people. However, there are some cases where bad luck or a bad choice, makes some players and coaches have lived down the fact several times, some of them followed so quickly hang them “San Benito” of league glasses. These are some of the players and coaches with more declines in Spanish League.
Los “glasses of the Spanish League” : Players and coaches with more descents
Fernando Vazquez
The good of Fernando Vazquez has been involved to a greater or lesser extent up to 7 demotions. Compostela, Betis, The Palms, Rayo Vallecano, Real Valladolid, Celtic of Vigo y Deportivo de la Coruña have descended under his baton or having started the season. Although it is also true that it was he who brought Compostela to the elite and the one who returned Depor to Primera a year after being relegated.
Miguel Angel Lotina
Possibly with coach “San Benito” the most jinxed League. Five drops behind him contemplate. It has been present in the descents of Logroñés in Second Division 1997, Celtic of Vigo in 2004, Real society in 2007, Deportivo de la Coruña in 2011 y Villarreal CF in 2012, which has earned him fame descends equipment. These failures have tarnished their successes and exemplary career as a coach.
Darwin Machis
There are soccer players who break records, others who conquer titles. And then there is Darwin Machís, protagonist of one of the most unusual gusts of modern football: Four consecutive descents in four seasons. Beyond the numbers, Its history reflects the least visible face of sport, where talent sometimes is not enough to dodge the fall.
It all started in the season 2021-22 With Granada CF, He continued in 2022-23 With Real Valladolid, He continued in 2023-24 With Cádiz CF and repeated in 2024-25 Again with Valladolid. In all these teams, The Venezuelan end actively participated, although without avoiding the loss of category. This negative series makes it one of the few soccer players to match such an unusual record in the recent history of Spanish football.
Javier Clemente
The Basque coach is a guy with character, controversial and several drops behind. Nothing more and nothing less than four behind. The last so far in 2012 with the Sporting Gijón but he has also done it with Tenerife, Real Valladolid y Real Murcia. Interestingly all this century. Perhaps the Basque methods have been somewhat outdated.
The Monkey Navarro Montoya
"Monkey 'Montoya as he was called, It was an Argentine goalkeeper who was playing well into the 40. As spectacular as unique, He reached the ranks of Extremadura 1997. Boca made it from as Star. The truth is that descended. Later he signed for Merida and the Tenerife with whom he also descended, getting three consecutive declines in three consecutive seasons. Even so, a spectacular goalkeeper but he was not in the most suitable teams at that time.
Sergio Garcia
The excellent striker champion with Spain at Euro 2008 also he lived several times in their flesh the descent. It debuted at Levante 2004 and that season ended down. Then he did the Zaragoza which ended down after several good seasons. With a star-studded Betis consummated his last descent. A good player who also had to experience a drop in category.
Carlos Marchena
Carlos Marchena won everything in Spain and is a myth of Valencia. It is also a player who at the end of his career was dogged by declines . He did this in Seville 1997 and two consecutive last with Villarreal(2012) and Deportivo La Coruna (2013).
Diego Marino
The goalkeeper Galician is a man with very little success in professional football. It is not only one of the players with the most own goals in the history of the League if not, it is also with more descents. He went down with Real Valladolid 2014, with Levante in 2016 and the Sporting 2017. And it's not that he's a bad goalkeeper but he's always in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ruby
His start in the First Division could not be worse. He debuted in first as coach and dropped to second with Levante 2016. In his second coaching experience in the top flight with just one year after Sporting Gijon, also descended accumulating two consecutive descents.
