Sevilla are considering making their third managerial change in the space of 12 months as pressure mounts on Jose Luis Mendilibar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The LaLiga club have won just two of eleven matches across all competitions so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mendilibar guided Sevilla to a record seventh Europa League title in June, but could be set to pay the price for a slow start to the current campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 62-year-old also helped the club avoid relegation last term after taking the managerial reins in March 2023.<\/p>\n
However, this season has been less successful with results declining and former Manchester City man Fernando was furious with his manager after being substituted in the first half of Sevilla’s 2-2 draw against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jose Luis Mendilibar could be sacked as Sevilla manager following a slow start to the season<\/p>\n

And the ex-Eibar and Athletic Bilbao boss could now be set to lose his job, with the Sevilla hierarchy now considering another change of manager – as per Relevo.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dismissal of Mendilibar would represent a third change of manager within a year after Julen Lopetegui was sacked in October 2022 and Jorge Sampaoli was moved on in March.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mendilibar won the Europa League with Sevilla in May but could now be set to the third Sevilla manager to lose their job in the last 12 months<\/p>\n
Sevilla currently sit 13th in the LaLiga table following the draw against Rayo Vallecano.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They have registered only two wins in the league and are yet to taste victory in the Champions League following group stage draws against Lens and PSV.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mendilibar also suffered a defeat against Man City in the UEFA Super Cup, as the Champions League holders claimed victory in a penalty shootout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Mendilibar does depart, Sevilla will be searching for their tenth different manager since Unai Emery left for Paris Saint-Germain in 2016.<\/p>\n
