Sevilla sack manager Garcia Pimienta after fourth straight loss
The seven-times Europa League champions are 13th in La Liga, with 36 points from 31 games, well off the European places and just seven points above the relegation zone.
"Sevilla would like to thank Garcia Pimienta for his work over these months, and his professionalism, wishing him best luck in future endeavours," the club said in a statement.
The 50-year-old joined Sevilla on a two-year deal in July last year, replacing Quique Sanchez Flores. He previously led Las Palmas to promotion in 2022–23 and secured their LaLiga survival the next season.
Sevilla welcome Deportivo Alaves next in LaLiga on April 20.

Fluminense vs Al-Hilal prediction, odds and betting offer
A surprising quarter-final set up as both Inter Milan and Manchester City were kicked out in the previous round which now sees both Al-Hilal and Fluminense eyeing a semi-final spot In an unexpected twist of events, Fluminense and Al Hilal, having triumphed over European Hannes in the previous round, are now set to clash in the Club World Cup semi-finals this Friday night in Orlando. Fluminense kicked off their journey in the Club World Cup on a subdued note with a nil-nil standoff against Borussia Dortmund. However, they revved up their game by pulling a comeback from a 1-2 deficit to conquer K League 1 team Ulsan with a 4-2 victory. The team under the guidance of Renato Gaucho had to steer clear of defeat in their final group match against Mamelodi Sundowns to secure their spot in the last-16. They managed to do so by scraping through a tense nil-nil draw against the South African team. This outcome placed Flu as the runners-up in their group and pitted them against Champions League finalists Inter. Despite being perceived as underdogs, Fluminense emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over The Nerazurri, thanks to goals from German Capo and Hercules. On the other hand, Simone Inzaghi, former Inter manager, began his tenure as Al Hilal boss with consecutive draws against Real Madrid and FC Salzburg. He then led his team to a 2-0 victory over Mexican side Pachuca, securing second place in Group H and setting up a match against Manchester City. Contrary to popular expectations of Manchester City advancing further, it was Al Hilal who triumphed. The Saudi team clinched victory over the Citizens with a 4-3 scoreline in extra time after ending at a 2-2 draw post the regulation 90 minutes.

Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota dies in car crash in Spain
Two men, aged 28 and 26, were found dead in the car, which burst into flames near Zamora, the capital of the Zamora province, which is in the Castile and Leon region. "We have lost two champions. Their deaths represent irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything we can to honour their legacy every day," the Portuguese Football Federation said in a statement. Spanish police told Reuters they could not yet officially confirm the names of the deceased, but everything pointed to it being Jota and his brother. The Lamborghini they were travelling in veered off the road, the spokesperson said. The bodies have been taken to a forensics unit in Zamora, where autopsies will be performed, they said. Who was Diogo Jota? Jota, who got married in June, helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season and also won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Merseyside outfit. Jota and his wife just had their third baby on November 26, according to posts made on Instagram. "He just won the Prem, Nations League, and got married all within a month," wrote one user on Instagram. "And his life has been cut short. RIP" Jota arrived at Anfield, Liverpool's football [soccer] club, from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the club in all competitions. "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota," the club wrote in a post on X. He also made 49 appearances for Portugal, twice winning the UEFA Nations League.
