“Mendilibar is the best candidate to coach Sevilla next season”

Seville vice-president José María del Nido Carrasco has analyzed the current situation of the club in an interview on “La Jugada de Canal Sur Radio” and has stated that the club is considering continuing José Luis Mendilibar as coach next season. and that Monchi remains at the front as sports director.

Mendilibar: “We are not happy, we follow. He makes the Sevilla fans climb the walls. He is the best candidate to be the coach of Sevilla FC next season. We are very happy with José Luis Mendilibar”.

Trust Monchi: “Monchi has a contract in force, if he went to the moon I would go for him. Personally, I don’t like to personify success or failure in person. The ideal person to be general sports director is Monchi. With the year we’ve had, the ideal is that when the season is over we all sit down and talk about the future. That doesn’t mean we have any doubts, we trust him 200 percent. We are not infallible and we all have the right to be wrong. Since the winter market we have been planning the different scenarios in which the club can be found. The CEOs and With Monchi at the helm, we are already planning the next seasonBut today our dream is to enjoy the semi-finals with this team.”

Self-criticism: “We have been through very bad times, we have recognized on many occasions that the moments bad decisions have been made by the managers who lead Sevilla FC, but it is true that the same managers who have been giving glory to Sevilla FC for many years, We managed to make ambitious decisions in the winter market to bring in four players who are performing at a high level. The final decision, to get José Luis Mendilibar”

The semi-finals of the Europa League: “The fans are crazy, excited about the opportunity to play in the seventh final of the UEFA Europa League. It’s time to enjoy because the illusion has returned. The team is very involved and eager to reach the tie. The players are human beings and have suffered a lot from the effects of this season.. They really want the ball to get rolling and for us to enjoy such a great game and such a great competition.”

Controversy with his father: “In November 2019, José Castro Carmona, Sevillistas de Nervión, José María del Nido Benavente and José María del Nido Carrasco signed a governance pact that ended an era of flirting with the American group. An era of war welcomed with joy by Sevillism came to an end. It was decided that the people who would run the club would be José Castro Carmona and José María del Nido Carrasco. We strictly adhere to the law. The agreement is the best for Sevilla FC because we all want the club, with its successes and mistakes, to be run by Sevilla fans“.

Will he be president?: “Every Sevilla player is very excited to be the president of Sevilla, but today youoca talk about the UEFA semi-finals, the situation that Sevilla FC is going through. It is true that there will be a change in the presidency in November 2023.”

Positive balance: “In the last nine years that we have been in office, we have gone to Europe for nine years, six of them in the Champions League. We have played twelve finals and won four European titles. We have done very well in those years. This year we have been able to correct the mistakes of the current season The people who run the club are being trained. The institution works as always, with a dizzying growth“.

Back to sales to grow: “In the last three years we have had successful years, qualifying the team for the Champions League and winning the UEFA title. Last year we thought we could challenge Real Madrid for the league title by leaving the money on the pitch. We made decisions that kind of separated us from the model. One of the goals we set, based on sports performance revenue, is contract young, unknown players with projection and who have a lot of ambition. Everything, with the sole purpose of making Sevilla FC a champion.”

Negreira case: “We were the first to release the statement. The Negreira case cannot be produced. A club like FC Barcelona cannot pay millions of euros to the vice president of the CTA because that would jeopardize the credibility of the system for managers and fans. The investigation must continue and appropriate action must be taken so that all consequences are met.”

Gudelj extension: “There are talks to extend it. Nema is a number one and Sevilla FC likes number one. He shows a level worth representing the team. He has not been extended as of today, it is another decision for the future”.

New Sánchez-Pizjuán: “What we have done is entrust a first class company like Legends with a report on what the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium should look like over the next fifty years.. This report has been studied by the union and by two first class construction companies. We have already commissioned the preliminary phase and the basic phase and the implementation phase will follow later. We have started informal talks with the city council and financial institutions to have them finance the work of the new Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. We have set ourselves a realistic target of July 1.”
