Sevilla v Real Betis:

I have come up with a derby backround for every week highlighting what ever derby around the world that comes to mind. So this week i have taught of the Sevilla v Real Betis derby. 

This derby is proberly the most violent in Spain due to the passion of the fans from either side of the city. Sevilla are the most sucessful when it comes to European trophies such as the UEFA Super Cup and 2 UEFA Cups in the Juande Ramos era in 2006-07. 

But Juande Ramos has managed both sides. He managed Real Betis from 2001-2004. But Ramos, now of Real Madrid isn't hated by Sevilla. His appointment as Sevilla boss in 2005 was a bit ify but he lead Sevilla to their greatest era in their history winning back-to-back UEFA Cups and a Super Cup.
