Sevilla have had a string of pretty disastrous seasons, if you ignore their rather miraculous Europa League run win from a year ago.
Managers come and go, but they are stuck with the same problems in the team that their predecessors faced.
The starting problem – which has been clear for a long time – is the average age of the team.
His gradual accumulation of veterans led to a group that – especially in the midfield – was verging on seniors.
That had to change, and it started in January with the departures by Ivan Rakitic and Fernando Reges.
The next step is to replace them. It won't be easy. They were old and slow and tired, but they had us and experience. Brand note that Boubakary Soumaré, who has taken the reins, is the opposite – full of energy but lacking in composure.
Their summer goals are still unclear, but they will do a very smart business in the middle of the park.
