Sevilla announced the dismissal of its coach Matias Almeyda on Monday, as the seven-time Europa League champions are in fifteenth place in La Liga.
The Andalusian club, who are three points above the relegation zone, released a short statement thanking the 52-year-old former Argentina international, who only arrived in Seville last July.
“Matias Almeyda has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the first team of Sevilla FC,” the statement said.

“Sevilla FC would like to thank Matias Almeyda and his team for his commitment and professionalism and wish them all the best for the future.”
The statement made no mention of a replacement or potential interim coach ahead of the upcoming two-week international break.
Almeyda, who started his coaching career at River Plate in 2011, managed AEK Athens from 2022 to 2025 before being appointed by Sevilla on a three-year contract.
