On the Villarreal bench, next to Quique Setién, sits a galactic. A former Deportivo youth player who, at a crucial moment in his life, decided to change the grass for the sand to become a legend of the Beach Soccer Spanish. It is Ramiro Figueiras, he is known as Amarelle and two years ago he was advising and directing a club in Mallorca, the CD San Francisco Beach Soccerwith which he signed great results.
Amarelle (Ponteceso, A Coruña, 1977) has been one of the best players in history on the sand and one of the most recognizable faces in a modality that despite having a paradisiacal name carries tremendous physical demands. Playing with the ball by the sea was how he met Quique Setientoday the coach of Mallorca’s next rival, with whom he has already coincided in other sections of his career, such as in Santander the en Lugo. The former Barça coach, who at the end of the nineties, shortly after his retirement, toured the coast with a Spanish selection of beach soccer in which he also shared space with Joaquín Alonso, Abel Resino or Emilio Butragueño, he discovered Amarelle there, who ended up developing a brilliant career in all areas. As a player, as a coach, as an adviser and as a promoter. From that moment on, the two established a close relationship that continues to this day.
Amarelle will return to Mallorca this Saturday, an island with which she has established successful links in recent years. At the beginning of 2020 and still being the China coachtraveled to Palma to lay the foundations for a collaboration with San Francisco de Amedeo Spadaro, who shortly before had been runner-up in the Beach Soccer Cup and Super Cup. Those ties became stronger during the summer of 2021, when the collegiate team announced the signing of the Galician as coach. With him at the controls, the San Fran won the RFEF Cup and the Super Cupin addition to achieving third place in the Euro Winner Cup and to proclaim himself runner-up in the National League. A benchmark that now moves between the First Division benches.
