Sevilla have announced that Joaquín Caparrós, a historic figure of the club, former coach and current honorary president, is suffering from colon cancer and is already undergoing treatment. Caparrós, who was diagnosed with chronic leukemia a few years ago without this preventing him from continuing his career on the bench, is facing a new battle. Through an official note, the Andalusian club expressed its closeness: "Sevilla wishes to convey the utmost support and affection to our honorary president, Joaquin Caparros, who has been diagnosed with colon cancer. The dear former coach, who can count on the support of his family, friends and all the Sevillian people, is already undergoing the necessary medical treatment." The statement concludes with a message of encouragement: "Sevilla would also like to wish him a speedy recovery, certain that Joaquín will also be able to face this challenge with the character and courage that have always distinguished him. Never give up, Joaquin!".
