Official! Matías Almeyda leaves, ex-Benfica side lose manager | OneFootball

It’s official: Matías Almeyda is on his way out, leaving his role as Sevilla head coach. The news was announced by the Andalusian club’s official channels on the afternoon of Monday, March 23, following the defeat to Valencia, which leaves Odysseas Vlachodimos, former Benfica player, without a manager.

According to Record, Sevilla’s sporting situation had not been at its best, and the poor result against the Valencia side was the final straw for the Sevilla board, who felt that Matías Almeyda was no longer in a position to keep his job.

"Matías Almeyda has been dismissed from his position as Sevilla head coach. Sevilla would like to thank Matías Almeyda and his staff for their work over these past months and wishes him the very best of luck in his future professional challenges", reads the statement shared by the club, announcing the Argentine’s departure.

As such, Vlachodimos, who was once a champion with Benfica, is now without a manager. However, the Greek goalkeeper — who, along with Vangelis Pavlidis, was called up to the national team — is currently away due to the international break, while the Andalusian board searches for the Argentine’s successor.

Signed this season, Matías Almeyda led Sevilla in 32 official matches, with little reason to smile, managing just 10 wins, seven draws and 15 defeats.
