Mainstream banks generally want some sort of proof of income - regular income into the account. From their point of view, no income so why the need for a bank account.
We used Santander as non-residents and the type of account we had (when opened) needed a minimum of €500 in it at any one time. It was a 'book' account, rather like the English building society account. Could he not get a similar account from Santander, or one of the caja's (savings banks)?
