Ramos was the manager of many Spanish clubs until he took charge of Sevilla FC in 2005.

In the summer of 2007 there were speculations around his moving to England in order to take charge of Tottenham. At first he refused an offer, nevertheless in October he agreed, signing a four-year deal. The situation was difficult when Ramos arrived because Tottenham was close to relegation, but things went better and in 2007/08 the team won Football League Cup.

From December 2008 to June 2009 Ramos was responsible for Real Madrid and after that he travelled to Russia where he had a short spell at CSKA Moscow. But he left it and in October 2010 took care of Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.
