Biography

Joan Francesc Ferrer Sicilia (born 1 January 1970), commonly known as Rubi, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a winger, and the manager of Real Betis.

Playing career

Born in Vilassar de Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia, Rubi never competed in higher than Segunda División B during a nine-year senior career. He started out at local club UE Vilassar de Mar, in 1989.

Rubi appeared in the promotion playoffs to Segunda División with both AEC Manlleu and Terrassa FC, falling short on both occasions. Whilst with the former, he scored in a 3–3 away draw against Extremadura CF on 29 May 1994, but the team eventually finished in second position in their group.

Coaching career

Rubi began working as a coach with Vilassar de Mar, and subsequently was in charge of several Tercera División sides in his native region. He was also promoted to the third level with RCD Espanyol B, in 2006.

After a short stint with UD Ibiza-Eivissa, Rubi was appointed at Benidorm CF. He left the club in the end of the campaign, after achieving a sixth-place finish in the third level.

On 8 June 2012, Rubi signed with Girona FC after having been part of the staff in previous years. He took the team to the best season of their history, leading them to the fourth position in division two and being eventually knocked out in the play-offs.

On 28 June 2013, Rubi left Girona and joined FC Barcelona, being added to Tito Vilanova's staff. On 3 June of the following year, he replaced dismissed Juan Ignacio Martínez at the helm of Real Valladolid,

After failing to win promotion to La Liga in 2015 Segunda División play-offs Rubi was replaced by Gaizka Garitano on 6 July 2015. On 28 October, he was appointed manager of Levante UD, taking over for sacked Lucas Alcaraz; he only managed to collect seven wins until the end of the season, the side returned to the second tier after a six-year stay and he was sacked on 26 May 2016.

On 18 January 2017, Rubi took over at Sporting de Gijón in the place of Abelardo. In June, following their relegation, he was hired at second division's SD Huesca.

On 25 May 2018, after leading the Aragonese side to their first-ever promotion to the first division, Rubi announced he would leave the club at the end of the campaign. He returned to Espanyol on 3 June, being appointed manager of the first team also in the top flight.

On 6 June 2019, Rubi left Espanyol after paying his release clause, and was appointed Real Betis manager just hours later.
