The Sevilla board is looking for a replacement for Mendilibar during the international break
Sevilla’s sporting director, Víctor Orta, is working on the search for a suitable candidate
Youssef En-Nesyri rescued a valuable point for Sevilla in the last minute against Rayo Vallecano, but it seems that his coach, José Luis Mendilibar, has not managed to secure his place in the team. Sevilla has started the LaLiga season irregularly, and The Sevilla board is looking for a replacement for Mendilibar during the international break.
The Andalusian group has accumulated only 8 points in 8 LaLiga games so far, and is far from the European competition positions, fighting rather to avoid relegation. The lack of positive results has led Sevilla to consider a change on the bench to revitalize the team.
The decision to replace Mendilibar will depend on Sevilla’s sporting director, Víctor Orta, who is working on the search for a suitable candidate. The club is looking for a coach who can take advantage of the international break to reorganize the team and raise its performance in the league.
Although Mendilibar managed to rescue Sevilla from the relegation zone last season and won the Seventh Europa League, his numbers have deteriorated since then.. The team has only won two of its last 16 official matches, with six losses and eight draws in that period.
In addition to the results, the Seville board has expressed concern about Mendilibar’s conformist speech in response to the mediocre results. After the draw against Rayo Vallecano, the Basque coach stated that Sevilla had no “need” to win games. These statements have not gone down well within the club, which would accelerate his departure..
Sevilla have a complicated schedule on the horizon, with clashes against Real Madrid in LaLiga and Arsenal in the Champions League, making a decision on Mendilibar’s future imminent.
