Sevilla Sack García Pimienta — Joaquín Caparrós to Return for Third Spell
Sevilla FC have officially parted ways with head coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta, as the Andalusian club continues its turbulent run of managerial changes. The dismissal marks the club’s sixth managerial switch in just three years, underlining the instability plaguing the once-consistent La Liga side.
The final straw came with a 1-0 home defeat to Valencia — Sevilla’s fourth consecutive loss in La Liga. Since the beginning of 2025, the team has managed just three wins in all competitions, prompting swift action from the club’s hierarchy.
According to reports from Relevo, Joaquín Caparrós is set to return for a third spell in charge. The 68-year-old, who previously served as interim manager in 2018 and 2019, will now be tasked with a familiar but no less daunting mission: avoiding relegation.
Sevilla currently sit seven points clear of the drop zone, but with crucial relegation battles looming against Alavés, Osasuna, and Leganés, the club's La Liga status is far from secure.
