Victor SanchezDel Amo has been named new coach of Real Betis.

Betis sacked Gus Poyet yesterday.

The Verdiblancos opted for Del Amo despite others like Gregorio Manzano, Luis Garcia or Michel having more experience precisely because they believed his ideas and solutions were best positioned to get the team out of their current slump.

The international break was an opportune chance for the club to revalue the direction it was heading, and Del Amo's pitch convinced them he is the right man for the job, though it will be far from easy as Betis currently sit just two points above the drop.
