Sevilla have announced the sacking of head coach Matias Almeyda following a run of just one LaLiga win in their last eight matches.
The decision comes after Sevilla were beaten 2-0 at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan by Valencia on Saturday, which leaves them just three points above the relegation zone.
Almeyda was also serving a seven-game touchline ban for confronting a match official during a 1-1 draw with Alaves last month.
He oversaw 32 matches across all competitions during his 265-day tenure, winning 10 of those (D7 L15).
Having taken charge of at least 25 league matches at the club, Almeyda has the third-worst losing percentage as Sevilla manager in the history of LaLiga with 48.3%.
Only Juan Carlos Alvarez (53.9%) and Daucik (50%) had lost more matches in the Spanish top-flight than Almeyda, who was only appointed back in June.
Matías Almeyda has been relieved of his duties as Sevilla FC first team head coach.
