# Sevilla's Coaching Woes: Lopetegui Under Fire Amid 1 Draw and 2 Losses Sevilla is currently facing a wave of criticism as their recent performance under coach Julio Lopetegui has left fans and experts questioning the team's direction. With just one draw and two losses in their last three games, Sevilla's poor form has raised concerns about the coach's ability to lead the team moving forward. Lopetegui, who took over as coach in 2021, was initially seen as a promising choice due to his experience and success with clubs like Real Madrid and Porto. However, his tenure at Sevilla has been marked by inconsistent results. While the team reached the Champions League final in 2022, their domestic performance has been lackluster, failing to challenge for the La Liga title and struggling in the Copa del Rey. The recent string of poor results has led many to compare Lopetegui's performance at Sevilla to that of his predecessor, Jorge Sampaoli, who was dismissed after a similarly disappointing season. While Sampaoli's exit was marked by a complete rebuild, Lopetegui's issues have arisen amid high expectations, given Sevilla's status as a traditionally strong team. Fans are growing increasingly frustrated, with chants of "Lopetegui, go home!" echoing through the stands during recent matches. The pressure is mounting for the coach to turn things around, especially with Sevilla set to face Real Madrid in the upcoming derby, a match that many believe could act as a turning point for the season. The club's hierarchy has remained publicly supportive of Lopetegui, but the writing is on the wall. With the team slipping down the table and their European hopes fading, questions about the coach's future are becoming harder to ignore. For now, Sevilla's focus must be on bouncing back from their recent slump. Whether Lopetegui can lead the team out of this rut remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the pressure is on. |
