I guess all Spurs fans know what Ramos achieved at Sevilla, but probably not many of you know all the facts of his managerial career, his achievements and his failures.
Here I will translate for you the weekipedia article on Juande Ramos written in Spanish
One note to understand the level at which Ramos has been coaching.

Primera Division Premiership
Segunda Division Championship,etc
Segunda B
Tercera Division
And below
Juan de la Cruz Ramos Cano, better known as Juande Ramos, was born in Ciudad Real (Spain) on the 25th of September of 1954. At present he is the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in the Premier League.
As a player
Although born in Ciudad Real, he lived from the age of 8 in Elche (near Valencia) where he started his career as a footballer playing in midfield.
He played for Elche CF in the Spanish first division for 4 years, and managed to play in 3 games :duh: (One of three, a typo, he wasn't Maradona or he was the Spanish Darrent Anderton). Later on he played for lesser clubs in the region of Valencia until he had to hang up his boots prematurely at the age of 28 because of a knee injury.
As a manager
Juande started his managerial career at Elche CF in the youth categories. He spent one year coaching the under 18s. Then he moved onto coaching Elche B team (in Spain many clubs have a second team, or B team, made of younger players and can participate in the normal Spanish divisions and can be demoted or promoted the same as the rest clubs as long as the A team is not in the same division. If for instance the A team gets demoted and the B team happens to be in the division below, the B team will get demoted to. Real Madrid B team won the Spanish second division but couldn't get promoted because Real Madrid was in the first division).
At Elche B team he spent two seasons in the Tercera Division. Then he was moved up as an assistant manager to Elche first team, who was by then in the Spanish Segunda Division.
In 1992 he became the manager of CD Alcoyano in the Segunda B division, a club where he had played as a footballer. After two seasons he left for Levante, also in Segunda B division. With Levante he won the league but failed to qualify to Segunda division in the promotion mini league.
The following season he left for CD Logroñés who were in the Spanish Segunda Division,and got them promoted to Primera Division in his first season. That success caught the eye of FC Barcelona and they signed him to coach Barcelona Bteam, by then in Segunda Division, the following season.
But Juande had to leave Barcelona one year later when his team got demoted.
Then he moved to Unió Esportiva Lleida, a Catalan Club, where he spent one season and almost managed to get them to Primera División.
Next season he moved to Rayo Vallecano from Madrid.
His first three seasons at the club were the most succesful in the history of the Madrid club. In his first season the team got promoted to Primera Division. The season 1999 2000 Rayo Vallecano were 9th in primera Division, the highest place achieved by this club in their history. Not only that but they qualified for the UEFA Cup after coming first in the Fair Play league.
The season 2000/2001 Rayo started leading the league, although they finished 14th. In the UEFA Cup they reached the quarter finals beating in the proccess teams like Gironding from France.
In June 2001 Juande left Rayo Vallecano and signed for Betis where he stayed for one season. He managed to get them into the UEFA Cup after the team had just been promoted the previous season.
The season 2002/2003 he left for Espanyol where he stayed very little time, after being sacked with only 5 games played and the team being at the bottom of the table.
The season 2003/2004 Juande coached Málaga CF.
In the summer of 2005, after one sabatical year, Juande joined Sevilla where he managed the best success in the history of the club.
During the season 2005/2006 Sevilla won their first European title, the UEFA Cup, and later won the European Supercup, beating Barcelona.
In the year 2006 Juande Ramos was in the run in for the best coach in the world in the IFFHS rankings. Eventually he didn't win the accolade but Sevilla were chosen as the best team in the world in 2006.
On the 28th of February of 2007 Juande suffered a brutal attack during the derby Cup game against their fiercest neighbours Betis. On bottle throw from the stands hit him on the head leaving him unconscious (I think he faked it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ-ggcb2Rzg
The game was abandoned and Juande was taken to hospital where he spent one day.
In the season 2006/2007 He won his second UEFA Cup and the Spanish Cup. Besides, Sevilla managed third position in the Spanish League, their best position after the season 1969/1970 (also third).
In the season 2007/2008 Sevilla won the Spanish Super Cup, beating Real Madrid and managed to qualify for the CH L groups stage. But on the 26 of October of 2007, he left Sevilla unexpectedly after accepting a millionaire offer from Tottenham that makes him the best paid coach in the world.
