Sevilla sack head coach Almeyda after poor LaLiga run

Sevilla have announced the sacking of head coach Matias Almeyda following a run of just one LaLiga win in their last eight matches.

The decision comes after Sevilla were beaten 2-0 at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan by Valencia on Saturday, which leaves them just three points above the relegation zone.

Almeyda was also serving a seven-game touchline ban for confronting a match official during a 1-1 draw with Alaves last month.

He oversaw 32 matches across all competitions during his 265-day tenure, winning 10 of those (D7 L15).

Having taken charge of at least 25 league matches at the club, Almeyda has the third-worst losing percentage as Sevilla manager in the history of LaLiga with 48.3%.

Only Juan Carlos Alvarez (53.9%) and Daucik (50%) had lost more matches in the Spanish top-flight than Almeyda, who was only appointed back in June.

Matías Almeyda has been relieved of his duties as Sevilla FC first team head coach.

We want to thank him and wish him the best for the future.https://t.co/acWogJu5DF
