🎥Almeyda, reactions to a debut ending in defeat
The Sevilla coach wanted to draw positive conclusions from his team's first preseason match despite the defeat. The result is almost secondary, despite the 1-3 loss, but for this Sevilla, the first preseason match has meant some positive things for their coach. Almeyda is focusing above all on the physical aspect, and the fact that they have only had one week of training and the gradual return of the internationals will give the squad an extra boost.

Sevilla appoint former player Almeyda as manager
Sevilla have appointed Argentine Matias Almeyda as manager, the LaLiga club said on Monday, with their former player signing a three-year contract at the side which battled relegation last season. Almeyda spent one season at Sevilla when he joined from River Plate in 1996, before moving on to play with Lazio, Parma and Inter Milan in Italy. After ending his playing days back at River Plate, he began his managerial career there. The 51-year-old spent the last two seasons in charge at Greek club AEK Athens where he won the domestic double in his first campaign, having earlier parted ways with San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS. Sevilla avoided relegation by one point last season, with manager Garcia Pimienta sacked in April and Joaquin Caparros appointed until the end of the season, a campaign which saw angry fans storm the club's training ground last month.

Sevilla announce new manager on three-year deal
Several weeks after the exit of interim coach Joaquin Caparros, Sevilla have announced that Argentine Matias Almeyda will take over as their new manager. The 51-year-old will take over on a three-year deal, and he becomes their seventh manager in the past two years. Los Nervionenses were heavily linked with former Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil, but after new Sporting Director Antonio Cordon was installed talks collapsed at the last-minute. Shortly after, Almeyda began conversations with Sevilla, and is supposedly backed by Cordon as his preferred option. Almeyda's experience Almeyda, who had a long playing career spanning nearly two decades, spent time at Sevilla as a player. Moving from River Plate, the playmaking midfielder signed in Andalusia in 1996 for €7.5m before moving onto Lazio the following summer for €6.5m. Image via Marca Advertisement He began his coaching career at River too, in 2011. He would spend just over a year there, before roles at Banfield, Chivas Guadalajara, San Jose Earthquakes and most recently AEK Athens. His last three spells have all last three years, a stability Sevilla would be delighted with. During his 14-year coaching career he has won nine trophies, including a Greek League, the Greek Cup, the Concacaf Champions League, a Mexican Clausura and two leagues in Argentina. Alguacil heading to Saudi Arabia? Meanwhile Alguacil appears to be on his way to the Middle East. Matteo Moretto reports that he is set to accept a lucrative two-year contract with Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia. The two sides have an agreement in principle on a deal. Tough job ahead at Sevilla Sevilla finished just one point above the relegation zone this year, the latest step in their downward trajectory since the exit of Jose Luis Mendilibar. They are also set to field offers for the likes of Dodi Lukebakio and Loic Bade, but Sevillistas will be grateful that they now have both sporting director and manager installed, albeit not before time.
