Opinions on José Luis Mendilibar's Sevilla FC

Yeah credit to monchi for the appointment. I been critical of the sevilla board for a lot of this season and last but they appear to have got this one right. Mendilibar has revitalised the squad, has us more organised defensively, the passion is back and more dangerous up front too.

Long May it continue! Vamos!

Things have turned around lately, but we’ve got a huge test on Thursday. Possibly the toughest league matchup that we’ll have until we play Real Madrid in May. Picking up points in the San Mamés would be absolutely massive!

What a climb! At what point do we consider Mendilibar in a permanent role?

Let’s see how the season plays out, but hard not to want to pull the trigger right now.

Mendilibar has definitely righted the ship and has given us something to cheer about after a dismal start to the season. It will be interesting to see how things play out this summer.

Hi all,

I’m Aduk using a different account as I’ve been having issues logging in with my other one.

A while since I’ve posted but great to see that Mendilibar has turned things round. Mid table safety in the league and a possible top 7 finish, as well as another potential Europa League success to look forward to and the Champions League qualification that would come from it. This could still prove to be a decent season.

Will be interesting in the summer to see if he stays on and what happens with the squad.

Vamos!

Another EL trophy would make this season worth it and successful in my mind

If we do qualify for the CL. It will bail us out for a lot of the mismanagement of recent times. Things were going bad which they still need to realize and act up. Instead of thinking everything is just fine out of a sudden. Also financially we are desperate again, so even after the big sales of Carlos and kounde it still haunts us. If we don’t reach CL, even though Mendilibar made an impact and mentality change to save this season, if it won’t lead to anything tangible or fruitful in assets, next year will be just as rough.

Worth considering that firing two coaches in one season likely cost us about a quarter or a half of the capital gains from those sales. All the more reason to dream of a UEL trophy and a UCL slot next year.

This is getting redundant! Every game we play is another chance for me to fall in love all over again :smiley:

Draws in the last two games leave us in a difficult position for European qualification. It’s now mathematically impossible for us to climb into the Europa League spots (or finish higher that :poop:), and we’re a point out of 7th, but Athletic Club has a game in hand.

It looks like our best bet for European qualification is beating Roma next week. #VamosMiSevilla

No offense for bumping this, but as an Eibar shareholder just had to haha. Aupa Monchi!!

Fun thread to comb through. Outrageous turn of events. Would be legendary to see him end Mourinho’s streak of European Cup Finals while extending Sevilla’s flawless Europa Final streak to 7

Personally I’d keep him even if we fail to get top 7 and lose in the EL final.

Steering us to comfortable safety and reaching a final is still a major achievement in the predicament we were in.

Another good one to bump

And another.

Has Gallardo announced/hinted at any moves for the end of his season?

Hasn’t, but is on the list of some teams like PSG and Club America.

Anyone knows the answer, though?

Jesus beat me to it.

YES! YES! and YES!

I don’t care about the next up and coming manager from elsewhere in La Liga. It doesn’t always translate at a team with bigger expectations. We found a manager that was able to instill a style, and also encourage players to bring out their best.

Give Mendi some players willing to work hard and they will perform.
