In the end, the results were decisive: Julen Lopetegui was fired tonight (Wednesday) from Sevilla, just after the humiliating 4:1 loss at home to Borussia Dortmund and parted ways with the club after more than three years. After the game, when it was already clear to everyone that it was over as far as the coach was concerned, he received great respect from the crowd in the stands who parted with him with applause and Luftagi fell to the grass in tears.

The Basque led Sevilla to great success and, among other things, the team won the Europa League under him in the 2019/20 season and recorded the best season in its history in terms of accumulating points in the league with 77 points in 2020/21. The season, his fourth since joining, started very badly and the departures of Jules Conde and Diego Carlos had a huge impact on the back. Sevilla gained five points from a possible 21 and is in 17th place after seven rounds.

Lopetegui managed 170 games for the Andalusians, 121 of them in the league, 17 in the Champions League, 16 in the Europa League, 15 in the King’s Cup and one more in the European Super Cup. In doing so, he became the coach with the fifth most appearances in the club’s history, after Joaquin Caparos, Unai Emery, Manolo Cardo and Ramon Anciens. In his record 89 wins, 45 draws and 35 losses, which placed him in third place in the number of victories after Kaparos and Emery.
