Julen Lopetegui's stage at Sevilla is over. It was an open secret, but Borussia Dortmund's thrashing of the Andalusians (1-4) was the last straw. A few minutes after the game at the Sánchez Pizjuán, the Seville club announced in a statement the dismissal of the Basque, a decision that the coach himself had already advanced minutes.

Shortly after the coach attended the media, the announcement from Sevilla arrived. "Lopetegui closes a successful stage with three magnificent seasons in which the objectives were more than achieved and a fourth season in which, however, the results have not been on track, with Sevilla FC adding five points out of a possible 21 in LaLiga", he indicated. the notice.
The dismissal of the coach had been sentenced for days, even before the match against Dortmund. Lopetegui arrived in July 2019 at a club that he made champion of the Europa League in 2020, without a doubt his greatest success in his time on the bench of the Sevilla team, which he has always qualified for the Champions League after being in fourth position in the Santander League.
Everything indicates that Lopetegui's replacement will be Jorge Sampaoli. If confirmed, the Argentine will begin his second stage on the bench at Sevilla, a club he left after the 2016-17 season, the only one in Nervión, to lead the Argentine team. Now the challenge is greater, since the people from Seville are on the verge of relegation in the League and have a very difficult time getting into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
