Sevilla FC are set to part ways with head coach Matías Almeyda following a series of disappointing results.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his x handle, the decision has already been made internally, with formal steps expected imminently.
Romano stated:
Sevilla are set to sack the head coach Matias Almeyda after losing to Valencia over the weekend. Decision made internally with formal steps to follow.
This comes after a heavy 5–2 defeat to FC Barcelona, where Raphinha scored a hat-trick, further increasing pressure on Almeyda.
Softfootball understands The final blow came after Sevilla’s defeat to Valencia CF over the weekend, which the board has identified as the turning point.
Reports indicate that Sevilla’s board held an emergency meeting on Sunday, aiming to act quickly and appoint a new manager during the international break to allow time for adjustments.
The club have already drawn up a shortlist of candidates, including Luis García Plaza, seen as a steady option, and Diego Martínez, who offers strong La Liga experience and a competitive edge suited to urgent situations.
Meanwhile, Sevilla are also progressing with transfer plans, with Patrik Mercado expected to join from Independiente del Valle in a deal worth around €6 million as part of their rebuild.
