Quique Sanchez Flores will leave his role as Sevilla manager this summer – unless the unlikely target has arrived

Despite a win for Sevilla at the weekend against Getafe – a result which saw them climb to 14th in the La Liga table – it looks increasingly likely that Quique Sanchez Flores will step down from his role as head coach at the end of the season season

Quique, who replaced Diego Alonso in December, is only under contract until the end of the season, and at this stage, there are no plans to negotiate an extension. A replacement is already working, with outgoing The manager of Osasuna, Jagoba Arrasate, among the main candidates.

However, it is not a foregone conclusion that Quique will leave. Estadio Deportivo say Sevilla could retain his services if they can lead Los Nervionenses to the halfway mark. That would mean a seven-point swing at Villarreal would have to be overturned in the last eight games of the season.

It seems unlikely that Quique will be able to do this, although he will hope that he will Seville The team built momentum with that win over Getafe last weekend. Of course, it is not impossible.
