Jose Luis Mendilibar was dismissed by Sevilla, following their underwhelming campaign during the 2023-24 season. Before he got fired, Sevilla held into a 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano on their La Liga match. This result puts them at the 14th of the league table with two wins, two draws, and four losses. Mendilibar is now the third manager by Sevilla that was fired this year alone, although he was hired by the club in March this year. Speculations arise that he got sacked off, because of their poor results, both domestically and internationally. Despite leading Sevilla last season into the Europa League title, it is unfortunate that they did not build from that result this season.
Jose Luis Mendilibar cannot build from their Europa League title
Jose Luis Mendilibar is one of the reasons of Sevilla’s success last season, considering how underwhelming their performance is. He actually led Sevilla to extend their record to their seventh title in the Europa League. Additionally, last season, he also helped Sevilla escape the relegation zone, making them retain their spots in the contest. However, the main reason of his dismissal is their opening results this season. In a statement, Sevilla revealed their reason for his dismissal. “Sevilla have decided to relieve Jose Luis Mendilibar of his duties as the club’s head coach, following the results at the start of this season,” they said.
They thanked him though for his services, especially for what he did for the club last year. “The club would like to thank. the Basque coach for his services. His role will go down the club’s history, after winning the Europa League in Budapest,” they mentioned. He helped Sevilla to defeat football giants like Juventus and Man United, which brought them the Europa League title. In line with his dismissal, there are names that were linked for Sevilla, as the possible new coach for Sevilla. Marcelino Garcia Toral is one of the names of the possible new manager for Sevilla, after being sacked by Marseille.
