The former Spartak Moscow coach is the choice to turn things around

Sevilla have decided to sack Míchel due to bad results and the bad form of the side in recent weeks. Unai Emery, former coach of Valencia and Spartak Moscow until a few weeks ago will be the new coach at the club.

The other possible candidate who was considered was reserve team coach Ramón Tejada but the feeling at the club was that he does not possess the necessary experience for the role.

Sevilla president José María Del Nido did not hide his disappointment during a press conference on Monday morning when he described the side's first half of the season as "very poor".

"Some problems have been detected and solved, but some others have not and for that reason we have seen a good Sevilla and a bad one at the same time," Del Nido said.
