The elimination of Sevilla in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey left the environment of the Nervión club a little cold, which already suspected a new gathering in a match against an equal and far from its … stadium. An avoidable penalty caused a defeat that will leave no consequences, although it highlights that the level of the Sevillas only gives them a semi-calm stay (the most ambitious objective), while it is expected that it will clear up financially and that they can reinvest in the sports section. Matías Almeyda sHe’s still not the one designated, even if his time in the season is like two drops of water with Xavi Garcia Pimientawho was fired on Palm Sunday of this year 2025 after tracing Sevilla’s successes and disappointments of the current season.
The Catalan coach added 23 points with Sevilla in the first round of the League championship, compared to 20 for the Argentine coach.who still have three days of championship left to close the first 19. They will first visit the the real Madrid at the Bernabéu, to see each other later Levant and Celtic once the 2026. They have opportunities to match this figure and even surpass it, although this Sevilla has repeatedly proven that it is capable of the worst out of the best. And to test the button King’s Cupwhere he barely tickled an Alavés team who, by tightening their pace of play a little, generated opportunities to take the lead before the penalty.
for el Sevilla of this century will always be a firecracker to be eliminated from the knockout tournament in the third roundeven if in this case it was a First Division club which caused his departure. Because García Pimienta himself suffered an elimination in this round. Almería gave him a resounding 4-1 victory on the day of the Three Kings Parade. A painful farewell to the competition and the beginning of a difficult period for the Catalan coach, since the market opened there and as soon as he complained about the lack of personnel to raise the level of score of his team, he was upset.
The end of Garcia Pimienta
Pepper left out the back doorwithout really understanding what had happened to him to make him go from infinite confidence (with renewal included) to the opposite in a few months. Sevilla itself seems to have wanted to learn from these mistakes.who demonstrates unwavering confidence in his current coach, despite sometimes cruel and painful results, such as elimination in the cup. The market will have a lot to say about the future of Seville and Almeyda itselfwho walks serenely amidst turbulent waters and that, as the team once again enters a results crisis, the cushion to support it will be smaller and smaller.
Almeyda and García Pimienta are not alike as coaches and locker room managers. They are far from each other in the conception of football. However, their results go hand in hand in many ways, showing that Sevilla’s problems do not come from their bench and that hired coaches can only improve the performances of teams that have been difficult to get worse. Almeyda competes with what she has. Up to six local players starting in Vitoria. The Cup is already over. They have 22 La Liga finals left to solve the problem of Sevilla which tends to give up.
