Jose Luis Mendilibar ha been sacked as Sevilla head coach on Sunday due to the team’s lackluster performance at the beginning of the season.
Appointed in March, Mendilibar played a pivotal role in leading the Andalusian club to clinch their seventh Europa League trophy in May, simultaneously averting relegation threats last season.
Despite a dramatic last-minute 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday, Sevilla finds themselves in the 14th position in the current campaign, managing only two wins in their initial eight matches.
“Sevilla have decided to relieve Jose Luis Mendilibar of his duties as the club’s head coach following the results at the start of the season,” said Sevilla in a statement.
“The club would like to thank the Basque coach for his services, whose role will go down in the club’s history after winning the Europa League in Budapest.”
Mendilibar helped Sevilla beat Manchester United and Juventus on the road to the Europa League final, where his team won on penalties against Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
Spanish media reports have linked former Athletic Bilbao and Valencia coach Marcelino Garcia Toral with the new vacancy, after he was recently sacked by French side Marseille.
