Sevilla Sack Pimienta As Head Coach

Sevilla, that parade Chidera Ejuke and Akor Adams, have sacked their head coach Javier Garcia Pimienta on Sunday.

Pimienta’s sack comes just two days after their 1-0 defeat at Valencia, marking their fourth consecutive LaLiga loss.

The seven-times Europa League champions are 13th in La Liga, with 36 points from 31 games, well off the European places and just seven points above the relegation zone.

“Sevilla would like to thank Garcia Pimienta for his work over these months, and his professionalism, wishing him best luck in future endeavours,” the club said in a statement (via Reuter).

The 50-year-old joined Sevilla on a two-year deal in July last year, replacing Quique Sanchez Flores.

He previously led Las Palmas to promotion in 2022–23 and secured their LaLiga survival the next season.
