The position of Jorge Sampaoli as a Sevilla coach is in danger after the 6-1 defeat against Atlético de Madrid, away, which left the Andalusian team just one point above the relegation zone. The information was disseminated by the local press. Next Thursday’s match against Fenerbahce for the Europa League is set as the limit.
Sevilla, for the next LaLiga date, faces Almería, a direct rival in the fight to maintain the category, and a defeat can strongly expose the team of Marcos AcunaCachete Montiel, Erik Lamela and Lucas Ocampos.
Sampaoli had five wins, five draws and seven losses. The last two in a row hit very hard, not only because the team conceded nine goals, but also because of the poor image it gave from the game.
Sampaoli took over after the seventh date, replacing Julen Lopetegui, former coach of Real Madrid and the Spanish team. Names are already circulating to take his place: Joaquín Caparrós and José Bordalás.

As reported by the Estadio Deportivo newspaper, Monchi, the club’s sports director, met with other leaders to evaluate “the situation in which the opinion of the dressing room was evaluated through its captains (Rakitic, for sure, and possibly also Jesús Navas) to know if Sampaoli has more supporters or detractors”.
This sports crisis occurs in the midst of an institutional crisis: José María del Nido, the club’s main shareholder, denounced the last assembly for irregularities.
