Former Barcelona manager Luis Aragonés (69) has today been appointed as the new manager of Fenerbahçe. The Spanish coach, who led the Spanish national team to winning the European championships last month, has signed a two-year deal with the Turkish club.
Arriving from Atlético Madrid in 1987, Luis Aragonés was the Barcelona head coach for less than one season. He took over from Terry Venables when the 1987-1988 season had just started and left the club a few games before the end of that same season, being replaced until the end of the season by first assistant coach Carles Rexach. Aragonés only returned to the bench two years later when he became the manager of Espanyol Barcelona. With Barcelona, Aragonés won one Spanish cup in 1988.

How long until this racist c*** dies ffs?
It's not a racist, Eto'o for example loves him and vice versa. The British tabloids just created some sensation like they always do.
Aragones' racist comments made during a training session towards Henry were captured on video AND audio so they couldn't have been fabricated by the press. I wouldn't call him so much of a racist - rather someone who has pre-concieved stereotypes about black people. To that degree he is not alone - but far from blameless for not using greater discretion with his comments. If he was the racist that some people have made him out to be Marcos Senna would not have been included in the Euro squad. And quite simply, without him, Spain wouldn't have won the tournament.
First of all, I would like to say that I'm the last one to advocate racism, but Luis is far from being one. He called Henry "the black shit", but the thing with Luis is that he calls everyone "shit". He talks about the blonde shit, the gipsy shit and so on. PC? No, and he should think about the way he talks. But he's no racist. Ask Eto'o who calls Luis grandpa and his biggest role model.
To be clear: I didn't said "fabricated", I wanted to say that the tabloids just took it out of the context and made some screamy headlines of it. Which had very little to do with the truth, like the poster before me also explains.
