Sevilla have just one win in their last seven matches and lost their derby clash against bitter rivals Real Betis on March 30.
Spanish media reported Joaquin Caparros would take the reins until the end of the season, as he did in the final weeks of both the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
Caparros also coached Sevilla between 2000-2005, helping them earn promotion back to the top flight.

Diego Simeone reveals title plan ahead of Club World Cup campaign
Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has fired a fresh message at his squad ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. Los Rojoblancos finished the La Liga season in the familiar setting of third place behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Advertisement Simeone's charges did confirm their place in the UEFA Champions League qualification spots with La Liga now up to five places. Atletico Madrid have finished in the top three in 12 of Simeone's 13 full seasons in charge starting from 2012/13 with two titles won. However, the most common pattern has been for Simeone to land in third spot, in behind El Clasico rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid: Third place record From 2012/13, third place has been Simeone's most regular finishing place, ending up there eight times, including in 2024/25. Photo by AP / LaPresse / Diario Sport Despite his impressive haul of trophies in Madrid, 2024/25 reverted to type, as Real Madrid and Barcelona battled for the title – and Simeone's charges failed to keep pace. Advertisement Hansi Flick sealed the title, in his debut season in charge, as part of a Copa del Rey and Spanish Supercup treble. Simeone's Atletico Madrid mission Ahead of the incoming Club World Cup, Simeone claimed there is a chance for change, and called on his players to gasp the opportunity. 'I constantly tell the players it isn't about winning a league. We're leaving a legacy here at the club. We want more, it's no longer enough to finish third,' as per quotes from Marca. 'The picture I'm missing is at Atletico Madrid is winning the Champions League, without a doubt. There's no point in hiding that.' Simeone also reiterated his pledge of wanting to win the Club World Cup with his side kicking off their campaign up against the newly crowned UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain on June 15 in Pasadena.

🔍What can we expect from River and Boca at the Club World Cup?
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Club World Cup, which will feature River and Boca, the only Spanish-speaking teams in South America. In light of this, OneFootball brings you the keys to their potential performance in the competition. Russo's Debut Without a doubt, Boca's first half of the year did not go as expected. They fell in the local tournament, were eliminated in the preliminary phase of the Libertadores, and the team was never able to play the way people like. Advertisement Now, hope is renewed with the new cycle of Miguel Ángel Russo. As Riquelme said, the last coach to bring the Copa Libertadores to La Bombonera is back, and everyone dreams that the same will happen in the Club World Cup. A Date with a Taste of Revenge for Gallardo In the Millionaire scheme, Marcelo Gallardo also did not have the best half-year. The elimination against Platense in the Monumental for the local tournament was not expected, but "Napoleón", as he is known in the Monumental, still has everyone's support. After demonstrating his vast experience in the two Copa Libertadores he won, this competition comes to Muñeco like a revenge. In the two World Cups he played, he fell, and now he will seek to say that his River is the best team in the world. Will Cavani Go for His "Last Dance"? Although there are still no rumors of retirement, at 38 years old, Edinson knows that this may be his last major international appointment. And the fact to consider is that this could be his first international trophy at the club level. Now, today, the Uruguayan returned to training separately while recovering from a physical discomfort. There are still 3 days until the debut, and if he is in condition, he will be a starter against Benfica. The technical staff has hopes. Mastantuono and the Opportunity to Show His Great Talent After the announcement of his arrival at Real Madrid today, all the spotlights will be on the 17-year-old jewel. He comes from debuting with the Senior National Team and now seeks to give a last joy to River's fans before boarding the plane to Madrid. Franco arrives with the nickname of being one of the great promises in South America. He already demonstrated what he is capable of in the last Superclásico, and his idea is to make a difference in this appointment, being the ideal one for his farewell. The Challenge for Both In the preview, we have heard countless statements about the superiority of European teams. That's why the great challenge for Argentina's biggest clubs is to compete until the end, making the economic gap an anecdote. We'll see if they can leave the mistakes of this first half of the year behind and start their recovery in this great Club World Cup.
