Jorge Sampaoli He came back with a noose around his neck. After a week in which he saved the furniture with a victory in extremis against Almería and going to the quarterfinals of the Europa League despite losing to Fenerbachçe, the image of Seville at Getafe was disappointing again. The Andalusian team lost to a direct rival that now surpassed it in the table and that also won the specific average of the goal, offered little ambition and fell again to players who were not in their positions, apart from receiving of goals for gifts when trying to serve the ball played from the defense.
In addition, the public statements of the players (Acuña, Bono…) questioning the idea of Argentine football led the board of directors to think that he could lose control in the dressing room. If after the defeat against Atlético de Madrid it was Acuña who said that they do not understand “the tools to win games”, goalkeeper Bono went further this Sunday after the defeat at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and ensured that the team will end up attacking. and defense “with anarchy” and that he enters “in confusion and ends up in luck”. These words can be a reflection of what the dressing room is thinking. The club understands that Bono is also a fairly balanced person in his statements and that he is a clear sign that Sampaoli is not the ideal one to take the situation forward.
Sevilla again reached the break, two points from relegation and giving a very sad image, especially away from home. They haven’t won away from home since October, when they added three points to Mallorca with a fine goal from Gudelj from outside the area. Since then, they have added only two draws, in Vigo and Vallecas and even in Europe, despite passing two qualifiers, they lost in Eindhoven and in Istanbul against Fenerbahçe.
The club can cancel the second year of the contract
Sevilla are holding onto a number of names and are studying the formula to lower the cost of sacking Sampaoli, who has signed a two-year deal. In this sense, the information from ‘Muchodeporte’ clarified that there is a clause where if the team reaches May outside the European positions, the club can cancel the second year of the contract. That would provide a negotiation for relegation, as Sevilla will not reach the European positions in May.
As for the candidates, Sevilla is looking for a coach profile who knows the league and is practical. The most prominent candidates are Bordalás, Mendilibar and Vicente Moreno, although he would have to break away from Saudi Al Shabab, which he currently leads.
It was also announced that the president, José Catro, and the vice president, José María del Nido Carrasco, canceled a trip to the United States to address this issue, study in depth the expulsion and take advantage of the break so that the new coach can advance with the knowledge of the template.
