Sevilla FC Fires Coach Lopetegui After Poor Start to Season

The discourse of the now former coach of Youssef En-Nesyri and the national team goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was clearly no longer getting through. This is evidenced by the poor performances recorded by the club, which are reflected in a chaotic start to the season (17th in Liga with 1 small win, 0 win in C1).

As a result, "Sevilla FC has dismissed Julen Lopetegui as coach of the first team after the clash between the Nervión team and Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Lopetegui closes a successful stage with three magnificent campaigns during which the objectives were more than achieved and a fourth season in which, however, the results have not materialized, Sevilla FC obtaining five points out of 21 possible in Liga," the management said in a statement.

The Spanish technician has spent three seasons in the club during which he notably won the Europa League. Youssef En-Nesyri and his teammates will face Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, in the 8th round of La Liga. They will be led by Jorge Sampaoli.
