Overview
- The club announced the coach’s exit after a 2-0 home loss to Valencia left Sevilla 15th in La Liga with nine matches to play and a three-point buffer to the drop.
- Almeyda departed after 32 games with 10 wins, 7 draws and 15 defeats, and his side had conceded 49 league goals, the worst record in the division.
- He was serving a seven-game touchline ban for confronting an official, so assistant Javi Martínez had been leading matchday duties since mid-February.
- Spanish outlets, including Diario AS via Football España, report Sevilla have reached an agreement with veteran coach Luis García Plaza to take charge after the international break.
- Frequent bench changes continue—nine coaches since 2022—and Football España notes that relegation could also deter investors reviewing a Sergio Ramos–linked takeover.
