The Sevillian team decides to do without their coach during the national team break
He was on a tightrope and eventually fell. Jorge Sampaoli is already history at Sevilla FC. The club has decided to fire the Argentinian coach after last Sunday’s defeat against Getafethe latest sign that he hasn’t quite found the right streak of results and is now looking for a new coach to lead the team through to the end of the season.
Why Sevilla fires Jorge Sampaoli as coach and who his replacement would be
The Nervión team decides to do without Sampaoli during a break from the national team. Sampaoli leaves Sevilla in fourteenth place in the national championship, with 28 points, with a balance of 7 wins, 7 draws and 14 losses.
With the resignation of Sampaoli and the previous one by Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla must now look for their third coach of the season and everything indicates that the chosen one will be José Luis Mendilibar. One that is very difficult for the Andalusian team, which is still in its struggle not to lose the category, although it is still very much alive in the Europa League, where it is in the quarter-finals of the competition.
For his part, Jorge Sampaoli has written a farewell letter on his official Instagram account: It’s my turn to say goodbye to a city and some colors I carry in my heart.
“When they called me to come back I thought it was a good option to close a first leg that had somehow been left open. Sevilla is the first team in my career in which I try a second chance. And I can confirm that, despite the fact that the circumstances were different, my love for this shield does not break and remains huge.
I leave with my head held high because of the attitude at all times, because we are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League and because we have put a lot of effort into moving this story forward. Football does not always answer with pleasure the insomnia we devote to it. But I have no doubt that it was worth offering this shield and putting my heart into this shield.
I would like to thank the players and all the staff of the club for their guidance. I have no doubt that they will reach the goal.
I want my gratitude to reach the fans for the ride in the Sánchez-Pizjuán where we came out very strong this year. It’s wonderful to play there.
I wish Seville all the happiness in the world and I leave a big hug for the captivating Sevillism”.
