Sevilla are considering parting ways with boss Julen Lopetegui – who was on the shortlist for the Manchester United coaching job – at the end of the current campaign.
Lopetegui signed a contract extension earlier this season through to the summer of 2024 and has delivered tangible successes on the pitch. He is rated highly within the game and made the shortlist of four candidates to take the United post, which eventually went to Ajax coach Erik ten Hag.
In March, the Spaniard ruled himself out of the running for the Old Trafford post in what appeared to be a show of long-term commitment to Sevilla. However, it is now unclear if the club will retain the coach’s services after this season following a prolonged slump in form - with a discussion between the parties expected at the end of the campaign.
