Sevilla have announced that they have sacked head coach Jorge Sampaoli ahead of next month's Europa League quarter-final against Manchester United.
The Spanish side, who last faced United in August 2020, made the decision to dismiss the 63-year-old following Sunday's 2-0 defeat by Getafe. That marked a fifth defeat in their last seven matches in all competitions.
Sevilla, who progressed to the last-eight of the Europa League with a 2-1 aggregate triumph over Turkish outfit Fenerbahce last week, are experiencing a difficult campaign this time around, currently finding themselves just two points above the La Liga relegation zone. They have won just two of their last seven league matches.
