SBO แทงบอล La Liga: Sevilla sack coach Michel and appoint Unai Emery as replacement
Sevilla have sacked coach Michel after less than a year in charge sbo แทงบอล and appointed Unai Emery as his replacement.
The club confirmed they had dismissed Michel because of “a poor run of results” which has left the team 12th in the Primera Division.
Emery, who had a four-year spell in charge of Valencia sbo แทงบอล and was sacked by Spartak Moscow in November, has agreed to take over on a contract until June 2014.
Former Real Madrid sbo แทงบอล and Spain midfielder Michel was only appointed last February, but has endured a difficult first full season in charge.
Sevilla have lost five of their last seven league games, including a 2-0 loss at Valencia on Saturday. The 2006 sbo แทงบอล and 2007 UEFA Cup winners have won just six of their 19 league games.
The decision to sack Michel was taken at a board meeting on Monday.
Emery, 41, who coached Valencia from 2008 sbo to last summer, lasted just six months at Spartak, his first taste of managing abroad. His first match in charge of his new club will be Wednesday’s Copa Del Rey quarter-final first leg away at Real Zaragoza.
Meanwhile, Sevilla winger Diego Perotti could be out of action for up to six weeks with a hamstring tear.
Perotti limped out of the defeat to Valencia just 17 minutes after appearing as a 62nd-minute replacement sbo แทงบอล and, after undergoing scans, Sevilla estimate the Argentina international could be missing for between four sbo แทงบอล and six weeks.
That would rule him out of both Copa del Rey ties against Real Zaragoza as well as up to seven league games.
