Official: Sevilla sacked J. Lopetegui © PA

Julen Lopetegui, who achieved historical results with Sevilla, bid farewell to the club after 3 years.

After a 1:4 loss to Borussia Dortmund, the Sevilla team officially parted ways with the 56-year-old specialist. According to the press, the former team coach Jorge Sampaoli is expected to replace the Spaniard in the head coach position.

J. Lopetegui led Sevilla to the Champions League three times in a row, forming a certain "big four" alongside Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico.

In 2020, the Spanish strategist also won the Europa League title with the club.

Last year, Sevilla competed with Real Madrid for the Spanish championship title for a while, but ultimately lacked resources to challenge the "royal club."

At the beginning of this season, J. Lopetegui seemed like the end of an era, as after 7 rounds in La Liga, they had only earned 5 points.
