Arsenio Iglesias, the historic Spanish player and coach of Deportivo de la Coruña, has passed away this Friday at the age of 92 in La Coruña. The coach of the well-remembered ‘SuperDepor’ led the Galician team to glory, with whom they won the Copa del Rey in a mythical final at the Santiago Bernabéu against Valencia in 1995, and achieved second place in the League in 1992 after the always-remembered penalty of Djukic.
Savior of the entity in its worst moments and creator of an unrepeatable history, the 116 years of the club would be impossible to understand without him. He was the coach who led Dépor in the most official matches (566) and the one who led them to win their first title, the Copa del Rey in 1995. His record on the blue and white bench was 250 wins, 143 draws and 173 losses, with 758 goals for and 575 against. Beyond the numbers, he is one of the essential figures to understand the legend of the blue and whites along with the historic Bebeto, Mauro Silva, Fran, Donato or Augusto César Lendoiro, the president who changed everything.
Arsenio will also be remembered as a legend of Hercules, where before definitively conquering Deportivo from a bench, he triumphed in the Alicante team in the 70s, in which he achieved the greatest milestone in its history: returning to the highest category of football. national and touching Europe with the fingertips. As a player, he also played for Deportivo, as well as for teams like Sevilla, Granada and Albacete.
The legendary ‘Zorro de Arteixo’ came to train Real Madrid in the last stages of his career in 1996, replacing the dismissed Jorge Valdano in the middle of the season.
