I didn't expect the Sevilla coach to be sacked. I think their run in the Europa League is not too bad. But the result of the game against Getafe seems to have made the management not believe it. Seven games with five defeats is not a good result, so I think they were not wrong to sack him.
Indeed, if you look at their history in the previous season, Sevilla experienced a very deep decline. Last season they could have finished fourth. Today they are in fourteenth position which leaves only twelve games.
After seeing Sevilla defeat PSV by 4 goals in the Europa league, my confidence in Sevilla was raised so the sack was unexpected, probably he was sacked for not doing so well in the La Liga. I hope the new manager will be able to improve the team especially to defeat Manchester United in the Europa league match up.
But it's not just about the game they had against PSV, they also lost against Fenerbahce in Europa League, and even in the Spanish league they are the 14th team in the table and they couldn't get any good results. Manchester United is lucky to play against this team at this stage where they will have an easier game than other teams because Sevilla can't be a hard competitor for Manchester United.
