Born in
Nerva in the
Province of Huelva in
Andalusia, Ramos was raised in
Catalonia. He coached the youth teams of
RCD Espanyol and
FC Barcelona, winning national titles with the latter. In the 1980s, he led
Palamós CF from the
regional leagues to the
Segunda División; after three consecutive promotions the team were two points off promotion to
La Liga with their result in the
1989–90 Segunda División. For the
1990–91 season, Ramos moved to
CD Málaga, who had been relegated from
La Liga. He was sacked on 19 November after 11 games – four wins and five draws – and replaced by former Málaga player
Abdallah Ben Barek. Ramos was the first manager to be hired by
director of football Juanito, but criticised the director's decision to be a commentator at the
1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy when Ramos thought he should have been signing players. Ramos also managed
Girona FC and
UE Figueres, both in his adopted home region. Ramos died in
Lloret de Mar in Catalonia, on 17 July 2024, at the age of 80. ==References==
