El Sevilla FC, presente en el Encuentro Técnico sobre formación de entrenadores en España

El Sevilla Fútbol Club asistió al evento histórico “Encuentro Técnico”, celebrado en la Ciudad del Fútbol el pasado 15 de julio de 2025, convocado por la Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) bajo el liderazgo de su presidente, Rafael Louzán. En este acto participaron representantes del Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD), la UEFA y numerosos centros de formación públicos y privados de técnicos deportivos (TD y TDS) en fútbol y fútbol sala.

El principal resultado de la jornada fue el anuncio de la creación de un grupo de trabajo conjunto entre la RFEF y el CSD, con el objetivo de establecer un modelo de formación de entrenadores más coordinado, transparente e integrador. Este grupo se encargará de realizar un seguimiento continuo del Proceso de Reconocimiento de Competencias (RoC) UEFA 2025, con el fin de mejorar el acceso profesional y facilitar la movilidad internacional de los entrenadores españoles.

Durante el encuentro, destacados miembros de la UEFA —Josef Zahorsky, Kris Van der Haegen y Ennio Bovolenta— valoraron positivamente la iniciativa, considerándola una oportunidad para reforzar la coherencia y calidad en la formación técnica. Por parte del CSD, el secretario general Ricardo Laso de la Vega expresó la voluntad del organismo de colaborar activamente para adaptar la normativa española a los estándares europeos y garantizar el ejercicio legal de la profesión tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional.

Sindicatos y asociaciones de entrenadores también estuvieron presentes y calificaron la medida como un avance importante para mejorar las condiciones laborales y académicas de los futuros técnicos. La RFEF reiteró su compromiso de ofrecer información clara y actualizada sobre los procesos formativos vigentes, con el objetivo de impulsar una formación rigurosa y homologada.

En este contexto, el pasado mes de junio se abrió el plazo de inscripción para los cursos de Técnico Deportivo en Fútbol, en sus niveles de Grado Medio y Superior, en el CAED Sevilla FC – Innovation Center. Esta formación, de carácter oficial y homologado, está plenamente alineada con los nuevos marcos formativos establecidos por la RFEF, el CSD y la UEFA.

José Andrés Nevado Villalba, awarded the Manuel Blasco Garzón Prize.

The Special Jury Prize of the 4th Edition of the Manuel Blasco Garzón Awards has been granted to José Andrés Nevado Villalba for his outstanding work titled “Are soccer clubs sensitive to financial scandals? Evidence from the Plusvalenza case.”

This study analyzes the impact of the Plusvalenza financial scandal, involving the football club Juventus of Turin. To conduct this case study, José Andrés Nevado applied a methodology based on financial event analysis. His research concludes that the financial market reacts more strongly to negative news than to favorable court rulings.

Moreover, this work raises important ethical questions: Is it profitable for football clubs to break the law if the market reacts negatively?

The study conducted by José Andrés Nevado Villalba not only offers key insights into the financial sphere of football but also contributes to applications in professional football regulation, club management, and investment decision-making.

The Manuel Blasco Garzón Prize continues its mission of recognizing young talent, supporting and encouraging students to pursue academic and scientific research.

These individuals have made this club a top-tier, elite team.”
