Paco Chaparro

Francisco "Paco" Chaparro Jara (born 30 November 1942) is a Spanish retired football forward and manager.

He subsequently moved to the lower leagues, where he worked with Cádiz, Granada and Écija (where he would serve in several capacities and in different seasons) and Xerez back in the second tier, before arriving at neighbours Real Betis' youth academy.

In the final day of the 2006–07 season he replaced the sacked Luis Fernández at the helm of the first team, leading them to a 2–0 away win against Racing Santander as the club narrowly avoided La Liga relegation.

[4] Chaparro returned to the B's for the 2007–08 campaign, but was again called for main-squad duties after Héctor Cúper only managed 11 points from 14 matches.

[7] On 6 April 2009, after five consecutive draws (the last 3–3 at home against Numancia) and two months without a win, Chaparro was dismissed;[8] the side was eventually relegated.
