José Segura Explained

José Segura Rius (born 23 January 1961 in Olesa de Montserrat) is a Spanish professional football coach.

Segura won both the Greek championship and Cup with Olympiacos after the sacking of Takis Lemonis in March 2008. He decided to leave the club after the end of the season, despite winning two titles, because the board was planning to agree with a more experienced coach.
